Ed Davis, not sure this was discussed. On mixing six axle motors (SD) and 4
axles (GP), am not an engineer, but I thought the SD engines would drag the GP
units if there were more ratio of SD's vs GP's in the same consist. I remember
seeing one SD unit with several GP units on the West Md in the 70's. Also heard
they are better paired up with sister axle units. You may get away with the
right units being paired up if the terrain, speed and weight of the train all
work together.
Without getting too much off model rr topic, maybe our 2 resident engineers and
one conductor (sorry if I missed anyone) could explain the mix briefly. I am
curious now even if it have to go off line. regards Jerry Smith Arnold, Md at
