Until January of this year I did applications and design for a turbocharger manufacturer/repair company. We specialized in the oil and natural gas area but did alot of marine and railroad jobs. I did have a sucessful design to help reduced the response time and smoke for the Alco 251C and 251F engines. The fact marine customers have little or no money made it a hard sell. Also company policies on R&D and marketing strategy hurt. I could make those Alco engines run very clean from a smoke point of view. One boat the crew thanked me because they could reduced cleaning the decks to once a week. Also the pilot liked the fact if he had a tail wind he could see the locks. We also did some neat things with EMD turbos but I didn't get too involved with that. Right now I'm a part time grad student and am a mechanical engineer. Money is tight so......maybe $100-150 to get my old HO set rolling again for my 3 sons. DT
