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?


Stop trolling.


Trolling? You're very good at asking questions, but you're rather
short on answers. Here's your chance to explain exactly why a Class
230 duty cycle will be more onerous than white van man thrashing it
