eg SB from Northallerton 801/1 0-100 110.3s 802/2 0-100 119.7s This is what you would expect with the straight electrics not carrying so much weight, having the same traction package and a better power to weight ratio. You do need an unrestricted start to asses this but I would be interested to see if other members have noticed this. |

From initial runs it seems that the straight electric sets are slightly quicker of the mark than the bimodes. Interesting result comparing 5-car LNER electrics and TPE bimodes accelerating on electric power. Have done some modelling of the power output of LNER 9-car 801/2 (all electric) and 800/1 (bimodes) with the suggestion that both have similar acceleration rates, implying slightly reduced traction power of the all electric versions to compensate for their slightly lower weight. More direct comparison measurements would be useful. David Stannard RPS Committee - Technical |
