@MrBooojangles Nope,they use a 6KT lump.
-
it almost sounds like a czech engine from ČKD K6S310DR (used in czech Loco Class 749/751) with turned on a Heating Alternator
-
Really? O_o This looks bigger than the 539's I've seen! xD
-
Yep, sounds very much like a 539, even though the 539 is a larger engine.
-
Ha ha! When I die and go up into the clouds I want to be surrounded my clattering Ruston's for all time XD!
I have a little ruston petrol engine myself, the quality of Ruston & Hornsby's manufacture was superb.
-
Wow--very cool. Str8 6 is sure a heavenly sound.
-
I worked with Ruston and after they got taken over by MAN. Great days but a sad loss to British engineering. I do have a great collection of manuals to my credit!
-
used these Diesels as generator sets on Bank Line ships in 60's and 70's
-
I love the rumble of a low speed engine
-
Sorry, yes you are correct, I just checked in my book. With this Ruston being a 6 cyl of a similar large size to the 08 shunters English Electric engine, I got mixed up on the engine manufacturers.

As far as I know they had English Electric K(T) series in them but I'm no expert on locos.
