That Cummins engined Railton is a bit special, did you hear it run/does it run? Looks like it's compound charged with a Rotrex blower feeding a turbocharger through some kind of plenum (or maybe charge cooler?).

Nice looking engineering there, would love to see/hear it in action.

Phew, shift it certainly does! :D I wonder about the handling though, I note that hillclimb was a particularly direct route. I'll have to look up some more on this methinks, if there's footage of it at Cholmondeley or Goodwood that'd be fun.

Lovely bit of engineering, beats the Perkins engines I used to fit in my cars.
