Padron on Thu Nov 1 08:07:26 2007. 3184 did have the larger volume R27 3YC at least back in 2000. IIRC, CIY Air Brake Shop scavenged all the Rotary screw NYABS for use on the R68s, then ended up scrapping them for Wabco D4s. I don't know if changing the drive pulleys to a smaller one would make a difference, getting any parts for them today would be expensive. 3184 had the larger drive pulley, thats how I noticed it. If all the motors had the same RPM, anything is possible. There was one car on the earlier fan trip that had the original compressor still on it. Does the R16 going for scrap have any compressor parts on it? |
