Re: nice video - 13 years ago
i think there was a version of compact diesels,maybe it was the ngtpa,i beleive they were somewhat affiliated with ntpa.in western pa there is 2 compact diesels,which pull with the mini's.they are way behind the euro pullers for performance.feicht announces them as having a 4" charger and 600 hp,but these numbers are inflated quite a bit.by patches - Forum
