I see this thread took off in a rather cool direction: The technical
details of locomotives.

Which now leads me to ask these questions...

1.) How does a 4 stroke engine make for better tractive effort, other
then possibly weighing more?

2.) What are the comparisons of EL's 6 axle power vs. the C-636?

SD-45?
SDP-45?
SD-45-2?
U33C?
U36C?
C-636?

3.) Also, are there any websites or books that go into how these figures
are arrived at? I.E. What mathematical equations are being used?
