That sounds like a Wabtec competitor for the GT38AC, possibly using a GE prime mover instead of cummins like the previous units. Indonesia got a number of dual-cab meter gauge GEs which could be a similar design to the final product for CBH. Date: 07/06/23 15:09 Re: Australian CBH put an order with Wabtech for new units.

--------------------------------------------------- > Any idea why it is so low power? They need to keep the weight down. These lines are likely laid with 47kg/m rails, and the ballast isn't any better. Date: 07/08/23 16:58 Re: Australian CBH put an order with Wabtech for new units. Author: callum_out I'd think it would be more likely that they use a current 8L250 which could produce 3000 hp if required, a
6L250 would be good for 2300. Out Date: 07/08/23 23:50 Re: Australian CBH put an order with Wabtech for new units. Author: SOO6617 callum_out Wrote:

The bigger engine means more weight, bigger radiator with more cooling water, and less fuel, but more fuel consumption. I should add that the current fleet consists of 20 narrow gauge lightweight locomotives. Fourteen weigh 105.5 tons with the QSK60 and 6 which weigh 132 tons and are equipped with the QSK78 engine. The 5 standard gauge locomotives which weigh 145 tons, and are equipped with the QSK78 engine. Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 07/09/23 21:29 by SOO6617. |
