re - 82 - 81 class cabs



Aus loco discussion mailing list

Hi Everybody
 
Just one point I failed to mention last time
 
The 81 class cab tends to give you a better "feel" of how the train is handling.
 
The 82 class can be a bit deceptive in this regard due to the fact that they are so well insulated against road/engine noise. The Wabco brake valve also differs to conventional brake valves and takes a bit of getting used to. I would guess the 90 and NR class loco's are the same in this regard. I have only been in a NR class cab once at Goobang Junction and was very impressed, not to mention jeaulous.
After the kind Junee driver showed me over the engine/cab I hoped back onto our little old 48er. Ahh well!!!!
 
These are only my opinions and will most certainly differ from others - i'm sure of that.
 
Regards
 
Dave
