Fascinating.


Yes, and they'd clearly not put enough effort into the task. Vivarail seem
to have tried to simply outsource the whole power pack to a local firm,
which obviously bodged it. The proven Ford engine may be up to the job, but


Proven on the road maybe. Pulling a 2 ton flatbed on the road is completely
different to working as a generator.


In what way, exactly?
