Proper freight locos.

@tmayco Unfortunately you mixed up some data.
Class 66 gets 3000 hp to the rail, the engine has 3300.
The 56 had a 3250 hp engine but only got 2400 to the rail.
Also, the 66 has more traction than the 56 - up to 408 kN during launch compared to 275 kN, continuous 260 kN vs 240 kN.
I totally agree with you about the looks though.

None of the original batch of 56's from Electroputere survived?
Amazingly Electroputere still mention the 56's they made on their Web site.
A little susprising, given that BR had problems with them.

Before the days of that big ugly footbridge??
horsepower at rail - class 56 = 3250. class 66 = 3000. Top speed - class 56 = 80mph. class 66 = 75mph.
Sight and sound. Class 56 = Brilliant. Class 66 = crap.

Class 56's are far more interesting than Class 66's - that's what matters. 66's are so boring in every way, the Class 56's have character.
