         WOW

Cool, all you need now is a yellow box to put over it, and it'll look just like a real one!

Here are a couple of others:

I almost did the mag wheels but couldn't justify the cost---they may come later!!

I can't believe someone would take a beautiful Listeroid and cheese it up like that! 

Very nice job!

What are you driving under the ST generator?

Alternator and water pump are visible at front end.

Tommy,

That's a beauty!
I can appreciate the hours of design work and fabrication that went into your unit.
Nice job.

I agree -- *very* nice job!  I have to ask though: What's the squeaking noise?

[Henry W]

Hello Tommy,

Wow, You put lots of hard work and time into your genset. Nice Job!!

The only thing now is some fine tuning and minor modifications as with most projects.

The squeaking noise is the serpentine belt slipping.

From what I can see in the video when it is paused is there is not enough wrap around the gen-head pulley with the belt.

I think it may actually be slipping on the engine's flywheel as there are no serpentine belt grooves cut into it.
Thanks for the compliments! I've had fun designing and building it.

Tommy:

its so nice to see you get some use out of that big engine, looks as though you have done a very good job
with it.

nicely done!

I think it needs to be self-propelled.  Lots of room underneath for a couple of motors to power the wheels.  Hang a garden tractor seat (with cup holder) over the trailer tongue and steer via the traction motors.  You're 90% there!
