[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />As mentioned elsewhere, the Green Goat is an old concept (1920's-1930's) that has been updated and re-marketed. Interestingly enough, MPI has agreed to act as a subcontractor for Railpower Technologies for building Green Goats. <br /> <br />The new concept from Railpower is their road-switcher designs. They are rated at 2000 hp each. One consists of two 667 hp diesel/generator sets and a battery set and the other consists of three 667 hp diesel-generator sets. I would assume that they are quick-start designs and only enough engines are on line at any given time to provide the appropriate horsepower needed. <br /> <br />National Railway Equipment has also dusted off and upgraded an old idea with its truck-engine diesel (UPY 2005). It looks like an enlarged twin-engine industrial design similar to what GE and others sold to steel mills, quarries, etc. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Interesting. [;)] <br /> <br />I am not sure if the UPY2300 will be staying here or not. I kind of think it might but I will know more in a few weeks. <br />
