<P mce_keep="true">Thank you GP40-2,</P> <P mce_keep="true">trainspotting at youtube is always fun and with a big sub-woofer almost becomes real...</P> <P mce_keep="true">Some years ago, I gained those GE-tables for an AC6000 tonnages vs speed/grade it became clear, that nothing, maybe except the Allegheny at upper speeds, comes close to it. </P> <P mce_keep="true"> - a link hopefully for your interest, why not 12-Axle Power? </P> <P mce_keep="true"><A href="http://books.google.de/books?id=HtwDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA81&dq=8500+horsepower+turbine+popular+mechanics&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false" mce_href="http://books.google.de/books?id=HtwDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA81&dq=8500+horsepower+turbine+popular+mechanics&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false">http://books.google.de/books?id=HtwDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA81&dq=8500+horsepower+turbine+popular+mechanics&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false</A></P> <P mce_keep="true">One more thing, beside those horsepower-factors puplished here by Mr. Oltmannd and Jay, is it safe to assume that modern engines will always deliver ~90% of the prime movers output into drawbar-force over their entire speed-range ? </P> <P mce_keep="true"> Kind Regards</P> <P mce_keep="true">lars</P>
