I thought, given the time that the gas turbine train was attempted, they couldve tried making a prototype by strapping a Spey turbogenerator setup to an electric chassis. Trouble is with that, Speys are 10-30 thousand HP and the 125s were only 2000 HP? Apparently everyone making fuel electric vehicles Really, Really hates serial hybrid for some peculiar reason, even though it effectively uses exactly the same gear, but because all the items dont have to do all the work each, only what theyre good at, they can be built smaller and more efficint, reducing the weight overall, etc?

At least the Professor didnt go into cooperation with Scraper and Ran, to build the sucessor, the Ford GT 5 . :trixieshiftright:

GT3 was partly developed from the GWR's 'Ketosene Castle'.

Good thing the real engine didn't go any faster than 10 miles an hour that day.

Good episode, if unrealistic.

Well, as you can see from the picture, there was a real engine like it.
