Really interesting program takes you through a teardown of a Geep 9 and rebuilding it as a Genset.

I get to see all those

I get to see all those engines. I live 30 mintues from there, and we shop there once a week. My 5 year old always asks to drive by the "train yard", and of course I like to see whats new setting out on the ready track. Pretty cool video, Ive never seen it before!

Thanks for the share

great video

Thanks for the link.  This was a fascinating transformation.  I have a lot of respect  for  the skilled  people who can perform this magic.

Interesting that all narrator's mentions of measures were metric - even Euros for the costs.  My only contact with  the prototype is an occasional trip on Amtrak - this was an education.  Now that I know what a genset is I can talk with great authority at the hobby shop.
