Hups! Made a mistake, possible. <br /> <br />When I wrote that the maximum age of the AC´s is 10 years, I wanted to say that we must wait a few years before the RR´s will place the next big orders! The fleets are near complete. <br />And I think that the RR´s need not much engines in the next years - see the orders for 2004 and you see that I´m right! Only some final orders! <br /> <br />They will not replace the engines before they reach the age of 15 (most leasing agreements for new engines are for a 15 year span). <br /> <br />By the way: Does anyone think that the market for used AC´s will be good. Only Class 1 RR´s have the real working fields for AC´s with the higher maintenance costs! <br /> <br />The RR´s must lower the cost´s. So I think it´s possible that the first AC´s will become an complete overhaul into TIER 2 in a few years an will come back to the class 1 RR´s. 25 years in operation are no problem for the frames and many other parts! <br />I see ne real problem for that!
