Bo'Bo' SM 31 - 1182 hp, Co'Co' SM 48 - 1182 hp, Co'Co' derived from russian TEM2 and a various oddballs/old classes used for MOW trains. Road locos: SU/SP 42 - 789 hp. Bo'Bo' The same as SM 42 but with HEP SP 32 - 1744 hp, Bo'Bo' - romanian export for passanger trains. Overall abysmal failure. SU 45 - 1727 hp, Co'Co' - derived from SP 45 (exchanged steam heating to electric) SP 46 - 2214 hp, Co'Co' - a typical all rounder ST 44 - 1974 hp, Co'Co' - the same as russian M62 ST 43 - 2072 hp, Co'Co' - romanian export, and, as sp32, isn't known for reliablity Electric locos (all 3000V DC) EP 05 - 2727 hp, old class EU 05 regeared to 100 mph (capable of 125+). 2 left. EU 06 - 2684 hp, built in 1961 by (afair) Vickers-Electric in UK EU 07/EP 07 - the same as EU 06, but built in Poland through license. EP has slightly higher gearing. EP 08 - the same as EU 07, but with gearing to run at 100 mph (but limited to 87 mph due to age, standard EU 07 is for 75 mph) EP 09 - the express loco :) - 3918 hp, 100 mph EM 10 - a switcher (finally with solid state electronics - all other classes are resistor-controlled). 1288 hp all these are Bo'Bo' ET 21 - 2496 hp - Co'Co' freight. Slowly phased out. ET 22 - 4026 hp - Co'Co' universal, pretty much 1.5 times EU 07. Used mainly for freight. ET 40 - pretty much two permanently MUed EP 05 with lower gearing. 5455 hp. Bo'Bo+Bo'Bo' ET 41 - likwise with EU 07, 5369 hp Bo'Bo'+Bo'Bo' ET 42 - derived from russian VL10, this one is a straight twin section loco. 6013 hp. Bo'Bo+Bo'Bo' These three are used mainly for coal trains from Upper Silesia to Gdansk/Gdynia seaports, altho ET 41 can be seen with manifest, or even with passanger trains. anyway - if you want to know anything about european railroad equipment - visit the page below :) http://www.railfaneurope.net/
