The M40 diesel - hydraulic had a relatively small engine, but it was used in the switch-yard for better acceleration under load than the larger diesel-electric engines, including the Sweedish-made imports. This was before 1990, mind you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hungarian_locomotives#/...

Hydraulics is just oil under pressure, electricity will drive a pump just as good as diesel. The real problem for electrics on the job site is they use a lot of energy per-day so you're looking at very large batteries, or else (more realistic) swapping batteries during shift changes.

None of the later remake of the original Star Wars received any awards, mind you. Maybe the "talent" was not there, because the original certainly swept categories with 7 Oscars.

This is how History was written when there was only newspapers and only one radio station, no TV. Lies, denial, re-interpretation of lies. Today add the Stockholm Syndrome, TDS, and Liberal PhDs.

Twitter used to be limited to 140 characters, but today text does not matter only memes do. I second the md reference, its text which is not abstract like memes - its precise and sadly its slowly going extinct. Email in plain-text mode is still king of messaging tough, and news groups and relay chat might see a Renaissance of their own.
