<p>Dear GP-40-2,</p><p>'44 seemed to be an interesting year, as many RR attempted to achieve ----- diesels, which were limited, although, and therefore not granted to every RR.<br></p><p>Their final steam-results were still impressive, based on first investment/HP, but not main- / running costs in the end (personal, I like those casted frames and roller bearings-/articulation-/suspension design).</p><p>I would better say, for ex., the Big boy were av. 3600+ DBHP engines uphill, than those allways proclaimed 6290HP peak, and this says a lot, comparing diesel like an FT or F3-threesome . Take a double headed 2-10-2 TTT uphill, that's pretty the same...<br></p><p>-The EM's seems to be nice engines, can you tell me more about them? </p><p>Th'x</p><p>lars <br></p><p>--BTW "academic" is a fine way, calculated, theoretical or historical. Mostly I know is the last one, but tells the same story, if followed carefully like the first two ones ;-) <br></p><p> </p>
