GAS TURBINE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES

Short descriptions of the locomotive to be built by Brown-Boveri and the Metropolitan-Vickers locomotive are noted. Each of the two new locomotives is to have a continuous rating of 2,500 hp, and the overall dimensions and total weight are approximately the same in each case. The gas turbine in each case will be of the well-known open-circuit type. In the Brown-Boveri locomotive there will be one turbine. In the Metropolitan-Vickers design, however, there are two separate turbines.
