Interesting. Collison? Very little damage. Or was it cut in half to
remove the engines?

Looks Photoshopped to me. The engine is too long by half.


I did not photoshop it, I took the picture today

I guess Martin was right and the Frankensteiners built it from two
differently painted engines.


I am also agreeing, this is most likely. It also seems to be longer
than usual, which is something I do not really "get", it could not
have a double engine or generator, so what is the point of making it
longer?


Wanna see one completely rebuilt, the engine replaced by a trio of
gensets, computer-controlled, etc? It's short of an hour, but an
interesting vid. It makes the guys look like morons, though.
