Some years ago a Japanese company called Wada made a GP-9 "live diesel" using (I believe) an R/C helicopter engine and a starter/generator to run the traction motors. <br /> <br />I've heard that the early ones were rather touchy to run, but that an automatic engine throttle helped.this in later versions. <br /> <br />Biggest drawbacks? IMO They were every bit as expensive as "live steam" but not near as "sexy", and only available from one importer in limited roadnames.
