BR1116: <br /> <br />Iore as in a single config: <br /> <br />http://homepage.swissonline.ch/Christener/Kiruna/Bilder/107-0703_IMG.JPG <br />http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/se/private/MTAB/IORE_102_gaellivare_010831.jpg <br /> <br />Construction of the loco <br /> <br />http://hem.passagen.se/plf66/typer-sv/typer-mtab-iore-07.html <br /> <br />As for EP100 (sorry fo E100 :p) it should look somewhat like this: <br />http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ru/electric/EP200/ru_ep200-0001_01.jpg <br /> <br />jeaton: <br /> <br />Don't ask how much the passangers like the trains. Ask: "How much was achieved for the $ spent, and how much could be achieved for that $?". <br /> <br />Acela facts: <br /> <br />Power / Weight: 16.3 kW/tonne (compare to TGV Duplex, 23 kW/tonne) <br />Power / Seat: 30.3 kW/seat (compare to TGV Duplex, 16.2 kW/seat) <br />Weight / Seat: 1.9 tonne/seat (compare to TGV Duplex, 0.7 tonne/seat) <br /> <br />"The Acela Express is built about 45% heavier than a typical TGV." <br /> <br />Overall - intresting read: <br /> <br />http://www.trainweb.org/tgvpages/acela.html <br /> <br />Don't miss the problem with yaw dampers and cracking frames... The problems were severe enough for amtrak to cancel the last ordered trains...
