The powerpack & cooling system are removed and concrete is used to ballast them to near normal. It seems a useful way of up-cycling units that need a new engine but have good motors, allowing a large increase in tractive effort to start trains without excessive wheelslip by using surplus power from the mother unit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kingmender Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2020 Easy, that’s just extending the hi low ratio gearbox principle. 5 forward and one reverse ratios in each of low, mid and high.
