That's the sort of device that gets created by engineers when there isn't a grown-up in the room.
It seems very sad that such things are so rare these days.

Brilliant. I was in Odessa in 1975 waiting for an Aeroflop flight to Moscow. MIG15s also used the airoprt & when they took off the noise was phenominal. I expect the railway guys were deaf by the end.
I wonder what ballast they had to hold the railcar down? Wikipedia shows a lot of thrust.

FFS, don't let UK government see that. They'll be expecting to use it on HS2 At this rate it would be the only thing that ever gets run on it. Damn those Elf and Safety grown ups. I am guessing that out of shot is a huge bucket of JP1, probably leaking a bit.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
