I’m not a diesel man….
But…..
With a few beers under my belt….
I think I get it.

 

When you hear one of those machines, working hard, uphill, both engines, you won't NEED a few beers, you'll marvel at their magnificence.

 

Or when they start up, a wonderful sound ....although a little smoky

 

best diesel sound ever!!
looking forward to my main line trip behind D9000 later this year
