Sorry. only read half of the posting :-[p

I'd like to see the motor cars being remarshalled as 3-car sets and run as 6
car consists (pocket rockets). They do seem to be faster in terms of
acceleration and stuff like that. The only downside is the loss of seats on
the 6 car consist.

What is the power consumption of a normal R set compared to a pocket rocket
though? Logically it'd consume more power...
