Hello My understanding of the DRS purchase of the Class 68s was that it was open for further locos so that might just be what this is i.e. more Class 68s As to the transition into the next emission standard (latest is Stage IIIB, all Class 68s thus far have been Class IIIA), there is a Stage...

Seems odd given the number of overcrowded trains. Thought they'd be snapped up by e.g. Cross Country HSTs struggle to work Voyager timetables?

Hi, Are all the Class 43 HSTs all being cascaded or are any heading to be off-lease?

Hi Could you please share a link to that? That's interesting and something I haven't spotted on the Stadler website thanks

There's an article on the C175-12 here https://www.powerengineeringint.com/articles/print/volume-14/issue-3/features/diesel-engine-technology/ready-genset-go.html As far as I'm aware the C175-12 is no longer produced

That's interesting. Does that imply the MTU engines are coming towards the end of their life or just that they have been used longer that was originally anticipated when the repower was planned. Would a third repower then be on the cards if the MTU engines are getting to the point they can no...

Hello all, I've found the dimensions and weight of the 12CSVT via documents posted on the http://www.preservedthumpers.com/ page. I've also found identified an article in the Diesel Railway Traction journal Sept 1962 page 351 by R F Tufnell called "English Electric V Engines" which I think has...

Hello I'm starting some research into the Class 37 and wondered if anyone knew the length, width, height and weight of the English Electric 12CSVT engine used in them? Also, does anyone have any docs detailing what the engine power is (ideally engine speed and torque values) for each of the...

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Anyone? :)

Hello I'm researching the various trains using the Cummins QSK19 engine in the UK which is thus the Class 180 and 185s as direct drive drivetrains and the 220, 221 and 222 as diesel-electric gen-sets. Would anyone happen to know the fuel tank capacities for each of these rolling stocks...

Forgot to add the IMechE paper on the Class 210 DEMU notes it as having BP20 and BT13 (BX1) bogies

Hello all, Thanks for the replies. @ Darlorich - I'm currently researching the DMU and EMU fleet trying to get up to speed on the history and spec. Especially the PEP and Mark III coach based EMU designs of the era coinciding with the Class 15x @43096 Thanks for the terminology correction @...

Hello everyone, I'd be very grateful for any information people have on the following queries. Ideally pictures of some of the bogies highlighted in the text below. Those pics would be within a vehicle or even better removed from a vehicle for clarity etc. I doubt outside of RDDS anyone has...

Hello I'm looking for some information on the 9 car Class 345. Been looking online a lot but can't find the answers. Only partial information in the Platform 5 EMU publication 1) I note they can accommodate 1500 passengers with 450 seated 2) Does anyone know the total mass for a 9 car or the...
