Could you or someone else please explain how traction motors work in relation to the deisel? I don't know how they work. I am curious what horsepower has to do with pull a train at speed. Or even why more horse power is better then less. It would seem that the rpm's the generator spins at is most important. Thanks for the help. <br /> <br />Ted
