I imagine what they say.. They say Coaches heavy hotey h isliye high speed ni le ja saktey,, Talgo is lighter in weight so can touch high speed on same tracks.. Then question comes Does your locos are lighter then talgos coaches?? Touching tht speed witj heavy weight.. Wdp4 is such a heavy loco its touching 170/hr. Why cant it do it with lhb. Is lhb longer then talgo coaches is the reason?! Totaly messy.
Amazing.. Bhai.. 170kmph aur wo bhi diesel engine se... Zabardast..
The speed vs weight vs length is actually a very messy calculation. The locomotive is powered. Even if it is heavy, it can generate enough power to run at required speeds. And when a locomotive is running alone without any coaches, it can generate more than enough power to haul itself alone.But the coaches are dead weight and depend on the locomotive to haul them at the required speed. Now, the locomotive has an upper limit on the amount of power it can generate. So, naturally a lighter rake can be hauled at higher speeds for the same power. Just to give an idea, the 9 coach Talgo rake that was tested, weigh's only 1.5 times that of the WDP4 loco that hauled it, and weighs a little over a 5 coach LHB 3AC rake.

Sir,aap kya IR me locomotive engineer hai?
Aapko locos ke baare me technically bahut kuch pata hai.

Nahi, Sir. I wish I were. :D
Engineering ke time mein kuch IR related projects par kaam kiya tha. I used that opportunity to find out more about the technical aspects of IR. And my home is near COA port station, toh jab bhi ghar jaata hun, wahi par ghumta hun, LP's aur railway staff ke saath baat karta hu. I am just a curious Engineer. :)
