WCAM 3 upgraded dual-traction models deliver 4600hp in DC mode and 5000hp in AC mode, and were jointly developed by RDSO and BHEL in 1997. Components are shared with the WCAG-1 locos (see below). Co-Co fabricated bogies (High-Adhesion -- shared with WCAG-1, WAG-7, WDG-2, etc.) with secondary suspension. Monocoque underframe. Air brakes are original equipment. They were originally manufactured under a BOLT (build-own-lease-transfer) contract with BHEL, and are probably still owned by BHEL rather than by IR.
Monocoque underframe. Axle-hung, nose-suspended, force ventilated, taper roller bearings Speed control by tap...

are u sure that WCAM 3 is fit for speed of maximum of 110 Kmph??? if that's the case then WCAM 2 is Much better than WCAM 3 and a more better option for . WCAM 2 is tested for 135 Kmph and i have seen where this locos have pulled RDSO coaches with 145 kmph .
as far as i know the contracts for WCAM 2 /3 were signed together . first WCAM 2 were delivered to WR lys in 1995 to 1997 and WCAM 3 to CR.
anyway very soon...
