Hi Dave,
That same pic was in the car section of our local rag last week , I can't remember the exact model number, and horsepower, but it was a Wartsila 2 stroke turbocharged diesel ship engine. Someone may know some more about it for you ,
Regards Harleigh.

Ian,

It looks to me to be a Mercedes Titan - based on the Actros V8! It will have a OM502LA 16 litre turbocharged V8 diesel engine rated at about 598hp and a 12 speed PowerShift gearbox!

i dout very much if one single p/mover would be hauling that load seeing it weights in at 2300 Tons i think there might be few pullers and a pusher. Dave
