[quote user="Murphy Siding"][quote user="Safety Valve"] <p>I dont think you need three Desiels to match a steam, remember one good diesal can put down Tractive Effort equal that of a steam engine. Both can only run so fast anyhow.</p><p>[/quote] I guess what I've read, is that EMD designed the FT's in 4 unit sets of 1250 hp each, to match the performance of typical big steam engines they were hoping FT's would replace.[/quote]</p><p>Right Im sorry for my misleading comment. I treat the ABBA as one engine. The ABBA does a good job as a set against a Steam Engine Im thinking of a 4-8-4 or similar.</p>
