Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 28, 2005 2:11 AM
Hi All,

I am now looking to improve my colection. and I need to find out some info on Horsepower, Driverabillity & what they ran with?

Also if anyone could tell me if they can run with other units from GE?

Now i know the SD 75Mac has approx 4300 HP & SD 75I has approx 4500 HP, as these are the two main units I have, plus a SD 60Mac. The SD 75's are Athearn Gen and the SD 60 is P2K, Which don't run well together.

Any help would be great, Thanks
Matt.

If you are using DCC,you probably could adjust the throttle band of the strongest to somewhat match the weaker (or slower) engine's performance.It's a "trial and error" process but with patience,you could possibly achieve it.

If you are running DC,your best bet is to build consists of similar engines which generally will feature similar power curves.
