The 38 8-1/8 engines are inline diesel engines, with combustion occurring between two opposed pistons within a single cylinder liner. The engine has a bore of 8-1/8 inches (206.4 mm), a stroke of 10 inches (254.0 mm) for each piston, and the cylinder height is 38 inches (970 mm). The engine block is of dry block construction. [1]
The final production engine was fitted with the newly developed EMD 16-645E engine in place of the 16-567 (same shell but with larger pistons and other components), called the G26C design and rated at 2,200 hp. Externally the engines were similar to their predecessors but the larger engine spun at a higher rate (900 rpm versus the original 835 ...

Ordered and operated by the Victorian Railways, they initiated the dieselisation of the system and saw use on both passenger and freight services, with many remaining in service today, both in preserved and revenue service.
A complete range of diesel engines was designed up to around 400 hp and these were very widely used for industrial applications. One particularly successful use was in standby power sets. In 1943, the business was sold by the family to the Associated British Oil Engine Company and this was initially very successful.
A planned 2.9 L; 179.1 cu in (2,935 cc) double overhead camshaft V6 engine, featuring four valves-per-cylinder and common-rail direct fuel injection.

[2] [3] The new diesels had a much higher axle load than the smaller T and Y class diesels used on branch lines, with these lines either being upgraded to carry heavier trains or closed. [2] These were all delivered in late 1984. [4] [5] A second order was placed for ten further units that were more tailored to V/Line's requirements.
