That's an interesting question.You point out pertaining to an eight car train versus a ten car train with a similar passenger headcount. Generally, I did not notice any acceleration rate lagging.When it came to Pre overhau, post overhaul, and subsequent willy B field shunt mods. R46 has had slower acceleration rates with the P-Wire, I believe the gear boxes were changed and the same horsepower motors pushed the rates up through those new gears. Only rebuilt R38s could beat the pants off running times on anything else, I feel because you could grab 50 pounds after hitting those fastest platforms and still make change, the power and braking rates it was very easy to be 4 to 5 minutes ahead by Jay St. Otherwise my running times and perceptions were not swayed whether I had a worstcode or R32/ 32GE |
