Some of you may be familiar with the Ursus C-45, but I was unaware of it until I saw this video. Very cool. I want one.

I love old semi-diesels. The one nearby that I've seen in person is the 'Lady B,' a Cooper-Bessemer 2-cylinder 2-stroke hot-bulb engine that powered a cotton gin for 40+ years until replaced by an electric motor. The gin was restored as a museum, and now the old C-B runs a few times a year. Next weekend will be one of those weeks at the Burton Cotton Gin Festival. They run the entire gin and process a bale of cotton.
