Rhodesia Railways Diesels and Electrics (FAO Syd!)
Bought February 2008 edition of 'Backtrack' yesterday and it has a very interesting article about English Electric Diesel locomotives. There is a mention in the article about a class of 23 2000hp diesel electric locomotives built for the RR in 1955. They were the first diesels on the narrow gauge to exceed 2000hp and used the same engine as the BR Class 40. They used the same wheel arrangement as well.
Did you have any experience of these locos's Syd?
