And how much more if you use an X-12 reactor?
The 10 tons startup weight helps a bit, but weight per kW is lower than
a (marine) diesel.

Diesel-Electrics, what about the batteries? (which I am admittedly
*assuming* they have).
Diesel-electric trains use a diesel generator running at a constant
speed and electric motors driving the wheels. No need to store the power
in batteries in between. It is a major challenge to build mechanical
transmissions for a locomotive, so many diesel locomotives are
diesel-electric or diesel-hydraulic.
