Early Large Hall-Scott Engine - Coolspring Power Museum

Hall-Scott was known in later years as the builder of many excellent truck and bus engines, all gassers, but they started out building aircraft engines and self-propelled railroad passenger cars.
This is a very early engine, out of a self propelled railroad passenger car (predecessor of the Budd RDC). It probably ran on "distillate", similar to kerosene or "tractor fuel".
A famous Hall-Scott application was the 1090 CID 240 HP engine in the M26 Dragon Wagon.
Hall-Scott's demise was the result of inability to develop a diesel engine, after Hall and Scott were both gone.
Build date may be questionable, as most records show that Hall-Scott started in 1910.

Every time I see a Hall Scott, I always expect to see a good fire show. This one doesn't disappoint. I love those things.

Amazing bunch. Every show, you know there will be something new running.

Excellent video, and nice informative information in the description. It's a shame they went out of business. They made some very intriguing engines with oddball firing orders.

Интересно где его использовали?

[@SteamCrane]

In a self propelled railroad passenger car, like a modern DMU.
