I've never understood public transport undertakings buying needlessly heavy vehicles. There's no way the H class needed to weigh more than 20 short tons and it probably could have weighed significantly less and achieved good performance with smaller motors.

How long is your running track, Peter? Is it all single track? Any passing loops? Is there room for expansion?

When H 360 starts up at the Museum, all the lights dip quite noticeably. Apparently the power fluctuation is sufficient to disrupt our AV system. Our converter station can handle: 4 cars (no H/H1) 3 cars (1 H/H1) 2 cars (2 H/H1). -- Peter Vawser [email protected]
