is it your computer which is adding the commas to the engine numbers?
No, it's me! I have the greatest difficulty in reading six-figure and five-figure numbers. It helps to differentiate the last relevant digits, namely the six-figures. GM of Canada's Walkerville, later from 1935 Windsor, Transmission Plant used a similar numbering system to Flint Motor Plant in 1930, 1929 being a hotch-potch of sequences. After that Flint built so many engines that the sequences differed totally from Walkerville's until 1937 when with the new 216 engines, sequences were re-set again, and then confusion could arise again. Windsor re-set numbers in 1946, by the way.

Try this:

Default The rest!
These are the rest of the '42 C15s that I know of:

2842129961
2842129988 ENGINE # SR3864568 S/M 2485 Z 5195280 9 NOVEMBER 1942
2842130xxx ENGINE #SR3853267

2842130626
2842130644
2842130726
2842130751
2842130774
2842130776
2842130779
2842130829
2842130842 ENGINE # SR3855720 S/M 2485? 12 [NOVEMBER?] 1942
2842130991
2842131045
2842131140
2842131156
2842131248
2842131294
2842131348
28421314xx
2842131409
2842131417
2842131421
2842131424 ENGINE # SR3856299 SM 2485 18 NOVEMBER 1942
2842131443
2842131446
2842131465
2842131482
2842131498
284213249x
2842132518
2842132566
2842132573
2842132587
2842132593
2842132608


I also have 28421M40750 ENGINE # PR3,835,432 [MELBOURNE-ASSEMBLED] but am not sure if that is a correct transcription?

Note also in the previous posting that some engines had WR and PR prefixes. 1942 'PR' engines tended to be C60S and C60L units, and 1942 'WR' engines the rest, on further study. I have long suspected that the prefix letter indicates modifications, but if anyone can confirm I shall be vey interested.

David - thank you for all the data, I can now provide some provenance to this vehicle.

The site does the same thing to me at 1/4 past the hour

I wonder if you are different Keith because of different programming for moderators ?

I don't think so... I've never had any trouble like that in all the time I've been a member.
