My size 10 on the piston (train?)
Plain ole farm scene
Prettiest little church I ever saw

Southern Illinois

Piston looks too big for modern diesel loco. I think the big GM and GE are about 9 1/4" diameter.

Are you sure that piston isn't from a two popper John Deere> LOL

I've never seen that church Slim - what town is it in?

Riverslim · Apr 26, 2013

Donnellson - block off of Rt. 127 (right on Bond - Montgomery Counties line.)

Probably a foot in diameter - I didn't measure it. Guy is going to clean it up, I guess paint it, put legs on it and use it as a shop stool.

I would guess it is from a one cylinder natural gas oil well engine.

Looks a lot like a Nordberg natural gas piston.

Have one in this area that is 16 cylinder ,3700+

hp at 500 rpm , it is compressor on the natural

gas line that runs from tx to nyc . I have a

piston and sleeve sitting in my shop .

they also have a v 12 that is 4000 hp at

250 rpm.

Thanks Slim - that's a town I've never been in.

I wonder if the torque would be measured in ft./tons on those huge engines......wow!
