Engine specs for Westrail P Class Loco wanted

[b9k9kiwi]

I have hunted and pecked all over the 'net looking for the power plant and dynamics spec for the old Westrail P class diesel locos without any luck.

I would apreciate it if someone who has these available can reply to me with them.

P Class Power-Unit GE 7FDL-12, 2450 hp (1830kw), starting tracktion 84 100 lb (375kn)
continous tracktion effort: 54 500lb (286 kn 19 km/h)
total weight: 96.1 tons,

The above is from a Google book, page 414 on the left page, link to it below:

http://books.google.com.au/books?id...+locomotive&source=bl&ots=UgtYfuxQSd&sig=RsZR

There are some pages missing but as said, the relevant info you want is on page 414. And some more info here in a comparison chart:

Google is a great help to find specific stuff and sometimes even the Wikipedia can help. At least often one finds links to, say, engine plants and other specs. Then it is easy to find a comparable locomotive on the DLS which already has a similar engine specs file done.

Easy :wave:.
