QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C Ulrich, I'm slow at getting back to you about 8080. I think there were some details in a copy of "Streamliner", but I can't recall when. Your comment about the Baldwin Westinghouse "Blue Goose" prototype reminded me that unlike the GE turbines, I think it actually had two turbines side by side. There is an old but interesting book (in German) on gas turbine locomotives by Wolfgang Stoffels. It has a lot of interesting technical details, including a proposed EMD FG-9, which had a French-style free piston gas generator turbine. I can't find it at the moment but I'll post the title if you are interested (and if I can find it). Peter
