Heavy Engineering!
« on: 28 May 2010, 08:10:45 »
As I think a number of you will know, I love large engines and heavy engineering in general.   The sight of a strong, powerful and pulsating 'very male' is very appealing and exciting 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-).

Well in my search for the world's biggest diesel engine I have found a great site.  Just look at those beautifully machined parts!! :-* :-* :-*

Enjoy! :-* :-*

PS  Please try and forget this engine is of course made by a Japanese country!!  ::) ::)

Thanks for the link Lizzie......`wonderful to see such mechanical design and construction skills, `good to know there`s still (both) the need and the capabilities; even though (sadly for Britain) it is now overseas.

Powerful, yes, but at 102 RPM it's hardly a screamer, is it? ;)
