> Hi all.
> Yesterday my local engine club, WAPA, took a tour of the Vernon power
> plant.  Built in 1933, at the time of it's construction it was the
> largest power plant with the largest Diesel engines in the US.  The plant
> operated full time for five years.  After that it was in stand by mode
> for twenty years.  Then moth balled until 1980, at which time they were
> rebuilt and placed back into service as peaking/emergency units.
> The six engines are Hamilton-M.A.N. double acting, two cycle, solid
> injection Diesel engines.  Bore 24" stroke 36", 6850 B.H.P. @167 rpm.
