@applesweeter Not really, we have unique locomotives and railcars but they are all powered by off the shelf power and equipment from the big manufacturers in the US and Europe.
-
I see!! Does Australia have its own brand of train?
-
@applesweeter No, the engine and electrics came from the US. The body was built and the entire unit assembled in Australia.
-
So, the final assemble is in Australia and the part manufacturing is in Australia. Am I correct?
-
@applesweeter They were built here but all of the running gear is EMD from the US.
-
Was this train engine made in Australia?

@johnnyfarnham Trying to keep this really simple ( you can Google it ). To get maximum power from a diesel electric locomotive it starts off with the main generator wired up to the electric traction motors in series or series parallel. At a predetermined speed switches and contactors are altered to send power to the traction motors in parallel. Series gives high AMPS for starting. Parallel gives high voltage for speed. Locos also make backward transition if they get slowed by a grade.

@Rocketboy1950 Ok, That makes sense if I compare it to the difference between torque and horsepower, correct?

@johnnyfarnham At the risk of somebody with a better grasp of this stuff giving a better answer, I guess so.
