ITALIAN DIESELS OF 2,000 HP

Italian diesels of 2,000 hp of advanced four-axle design are 33 percent greater in output than the 75 locomotives of Gr. D343 being built. Many parts are standard and interchangeable. In particular, the gear-drive systems for the monomotor bogies and also the traction motors are interchangeable. Driving cabs and contents are the same, as are such details as air compressors, filters, radiator elements and so forth. The systems and components of each engine are described and illustrated.
