<p>[quote user="YoHo1975"]I got the impression the SCR pump issue was a build quality issue.[/quote]</p> <p>The SCR pump issue was discusses in Executive Board meeting over a few month. It was partly a design and partly a quality issue. AFAIK changes to the urea system are made on all locomotives.</p> <p>[quote user="YoHo1975"] I don't think any of the other engines besides the 3 are ready to start shake down.[/quote]</p> <p>15 locomotives are on the property, one was send back as you said. Five are in shake down testing as of May 2nd, 2018. It might be a few more now.</p> <p>I think it is an unlucky organisation having the monocoque body, cab and truck frames design and built in Spain while the precut building material is sent from the USA. Who changes a miscut piece of sheet metal in regard of warrantee and Buy American?<br />Regards, Volker</p>
