-------------------------------------- EDITED, 2/2/20. Typo correction - 100 Metric tonnes was incorrectly shown as 110 Metric tonnes BP ------------------------------------ For information, and provided I have not miscopied some of the figures (which can be quite small). I have the following weights for some recent trains. Class 195/0 (2 coaches): 87T 195/1 (3 coaches): 123 T 331/0 (3 coaches): 125.5 T 331/1 (4 coaches): 157.4 T 397 (5 coaches) : 186.0 T |

Can anyone clarify whether the weights shown on current / new trains refer to "UK" tons, or to "Metric" tonnes ? Whilst the difference between them is small (110 Metric tonnes = 98.4 UK tons, it will make a small difference to power calculations. |

A short ton is 2000 lbs which I think is a US measure. A ton = 20 cwt = 2240 lbs = 1016 kg Bob Jennings |

I have it as 135 in my system. Not sure of the decimal component. |
