Title: Engine Puzzle #466 - Detroit Zoo Locomotive "Walter P Chrysler"
Post by: Otto Puzzell on May 15, 2013, 04:43:07 AM
For one point: Identify the make of internal combustion engine pictured, and the vehicle in which it is installed.

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Looks like a Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth engine, they were practically the same from the early 30's until the late 50's, but what is that two cylinder "air compressor????" for?

The image shows a flathead 6-cylinder engine from the Chrysler Corporation, built in about 1953.

Is this vehicle in the USA?

The Chrysler connection was established earlier.

This installation was completed before 1953, and used within the US.

So, to clarify, am I right in thinking this is a small gasoline-engined railway locomotive?
