    They can always add some lipstick and mascara to that brick for highway use later, I’m thoroughly impressed!

    Edison has been at it for quite awhile & doing things for the RIGHT reasons.

    Some brilliant & down to earth folks with actual morals.

    I thought I had a winner when I made a stone slab lifter out of some scrap plywood, foam gasket and a shop vac. Those boys seem to be showing that the juice is worth the squeeze

    If all my money wasn’t tied up in eating and sleeping indoors, I would definitely be an investor

    Over here we have the provincial government pouring money into bombardier aerospace to make planes that no one buys, to the tune of around 700 million dollars in the last 5 years, and there are companies like Edison trying to get money. Bombardier should be making water bombers only, something we actually need! I hope the powers that be get behind those guys, but government would only get behind them to sc### them up the ###

    There's hardly been a locomotive made in the last 40 years that didn't have at least 4,000 hp........
