Not really RR but this place is dead anyways and I know some members would like to see this.

The boat Ive been on the last week has a Fairbanks 38D81/8th.  Still, the coolest sounding engine in my book.  However, they are LOUD.  Try living on top of one running for a week.  Its not fun.

 To bad they never caught on on RRs, there getting over 4kHP out of them now in marine applications.  We ran a crane barge (43' wide in a 44' wide canal lock) up to Lake Champlain.  Ill post some more pix and vids of the FM when I get home..

Nova55...if you don't post video with audio...loud audio...FBM sound audio...I will get a petition and ask that the moderators and all who wish to join in, tie you onto the side of a GP7 with all doors open to the engine compartment and run it for at least one full fuel tank full at about 6th notch uphill all the way!
