Kind of an early tunnel motor concept... Date: 11/19/19 17:33 Re: pair of D&RGW Krauss-Maffei ML 4000's Author: PHall trackplanner Wrote:

Maybachs don't like hot, dirty air.

Was the car actually being used to test performance all that time, or was it being used as a crew car/tool car for KM or mechanical department personnel trying to keep the things running?
