Nearholmer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Agreed, but Is it rated at 700hp? I no longer have a ‘combined volume’ to look such things up on, and the internet told me 300hp or 460hp, depending upon where I looked.

leopardml2341 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I think the 700hp is assuming that the second DMU vehicle is providing power. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Ah, it’s another power car! I missed that - I saw it as an ordinary coach of some sort. Now I get it, yes, plenty of oomph by that standards of the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first batch of them were provided with 300hp engines, whilst the second batch, from the Gloucester company, each had two 230hp engines. 20 hours ago, Nearholmer said: Ah, it’s another power car!

The Albion engines by the time had been derated to 200hp, due several issues. All the Albion's we had at BG had the fuel pumps set so they could only produce 200HP, until we had a shortage of pumps and we had some overhauled locally, they were set to 230HP. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When both were being carried, there were instructions about mixing the two types of cargo.... Hi Brian I was always in the belief the two perambulator cars were the two single passenger cars not the luggage vans. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
