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 What question did I ask exactly? 230 duty cycle will be more onerous than white van man thrashing it all day. Van man will only be thrashing it for an hour or 2 each day. The rest of the time it'll be parked up outside the building site or wherever. It won't be trying to accelerate and maintain the speed of 10 tons of carriage most of the day then spend the rest of its time idling since apparently train drivers don't know where the off switch is it would seem. This isn't a static generator generating a constant 240V at a constant RPM, its got a duty cycle and it'll be a hard one for a small road vehicle engine. -- Spud |
