@florianska6 The power you "need" depends on how fast you want to accelerate those coaches, or how fast you want to haul them up a gradient. A 37 (1750 hp) and a Deltic (3300 hp) could both start ten or twelve coaches - in fact the 37 has slightly more tractive effort so should accelerate faster from a standing start - but the Deltic would reach 90 mph much more quickly.
The engine, generator and traction motors all need to be matched together to work well.

@florianska6 Well... it depends on how much power you want from the traction motors! ;-) A generator powering motors is about 80% efficient, so 3300 engine hp provides about 2600 hp "at the rail".
At low speeds, the tractive effort (pulling force) is limited by other things, such as the design of the traction motors and the weight of the loco. At higher speeds, the loco can run at constant power, so tractive effort decreases as the speed increases.
-
A technical clarification please from someone.
The sheer power (and of course the sound) of the twin Napier Deltic impresses me.
However, it is a diesel-electric loco.
How much diesel engine power is needed to create the electricity needed for the traction motors for a full range of speeds when hauling a full load of coaches?

good grief i remember watching this on tv!!!!!! I also remember the man rubbing his head against the engine at the end of the report 1m19sec. I love trains. But that's - kinda odd.

No he's right it did have 36 cylinders in total, remember the deltic was powered by TWO napier deltic two stroke marine engines both of which had eighteen cylinders and 36 pistons (72 pistons combined). So research your information more accurately before posting your comments on youtube.

Great kid @ 0.42 Seems to me kids nowadays remain unimpressed about just about everything, but then the decline in British indusry might have something to do with that.
