Well you can still see and hear the REAL thing, and it is bought out on occasions to do demo laps etc, so why anyone, at vast expense, would want to build a diesel powered 'replica' is beyond me. If they had slotted in some old V12 aircraft engine in it, I could perhaps be a little more generous towards it but as far as I am concerned is just a publicity stunt for Cummins to show off some newer technology. AND, it is NOT a replica.....is it?
Agree...what IS the point ??..that one certainly got me scratching my head
