Chassis might need a few mods though!

Denmark 1998 - 3rd picture down - that was me in the middle with white hat! I designed tooling to drill the oilways... basically a 45mm diameter drill 1.5 metres long with wear pads and through coolant. He broke the first one as the setter forgot to put tool offsets into the machine - the drill was never found as it went into rapid into the lobe, broke and went straight up through the roof like a javelin... left a 45mm funny shaped hole

Then I went onto the ship the engine was fitted to... 5 engine's in the engine house all powering different ancillaries. 1 for electric, 1 for gate lift 2 for propulsion and 1 for other hydraulics. Each engine made 135Db! You could feel the noise passing through your body and shaking your internal organs. You were only allowed 20 mintes exposure.

Those were the days... then went to Vesta - wind turbine manufacturer. Fibreglass rotor's you know... hand made! Rotor tip angles to keep speed below supersonic to prevent sonic boom and shattering the rotor! My god... it all comes flooding back!

Wow. I posted this engine on here some time ago.

You're serious about being in the photo? That's awesome.

I thought with how big these engines were, surely they would only put 1 of them, maybe 2 into a ship, but 5? That's insane.

It sure is one big mother hen!

I think they are just really ickkle people......

Well the engine only weighs 2.300.000 kg... should be no problem of you scale up the book design a little..

So in a locost the engine makes up like 1/4 of the weight? So the total weight would then be 9.200.000 kg. So that would give a power to weight ratio of 108,920 / 9200 = 11.84 Hp/ton.

Not very impressive if you ask me..
Not to mention not very locost either, hahah..
