The engine is a wicked-loud beast that rivals any dragster engine you&#8217;ve ever heard. Just check out this clip of her on the test stand. The train whistle signals the rest of the plant that the engine is about to be started so as not to startle anyone doing delicate work. You can hear why when she starts up!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few shots of the engine after test and tear down. No metallic debris was found on inspection, so things look good so far! Not much time left though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasyofflight.com\/collection\/wp-content\/uploads\/E-Torn-apart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
