Oh, so your generators deliver power to the wheels do they? Maybe that’s why you need a new generator so bad.

Maybe I am dense.

What the heck are you talking about.

This may clarify things. The big locomotives you see have diesel generators, the train is driven by electric motors. Those locomotives have hundreds of millions of dollars of engineering to make them as efficient as humanly posible.

This will be about 25% more efficient.
