It is NOT an HEP engine...if you'd read my last post you'd see it is a solid state inverter housed inside the carbody that provides hotel power for the coaches. I work on these locomotives every single day...I know what I'm talking about.
@FL9AC on this loco hep does engage until it turns on in diesel mode,also it does work till the loco is in idle and when in idle and hep is running the loco stays in notch 3 RPM
Technically the locomotive isn't idling. It's in electric mode at that point, so what you're hearing is the blowers and all the electric gear humming away.
No, the P32AC-DM's do not have an HEP engine...the HEP is simply an inverter housed in the back of the locomotive...again what is heard in the video are some of the necessary equipment blowers running.
