Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
Hint-hint: class 43 are diesel-electric.
Where did you get the ECML from?

Hi "Drag0nflamez"
Here is the Link to "ECML"
http://eezypeazy.co.uk/page3aa.html
Now to the "Hint-hint: class 43 are diesel-electric"
To me a Diesel Electric means Diesel Engine Running a Generator
and that Powering the Electric Traction Motors...
( Traction motors on older engines are DC and the newer Engines are AC)
If it is the same for You than the Train is a Diesel and does not use
Overhead Wires...
Keep in mind I am in Southern USA and we do not have any Electric Trains..
Thanks
Ed

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
You'll love the Brits, Ed, It gets worse, some of their trains are third rail electrification!
The old class 43 was a diesel hydraulic, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_43_%28Warship_Class%29
The later one, sometimes called the "HST" is indeed diesel-electric:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_43_%28HST%29
in the manner you describe with engine/gen/traction motors.

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
Hi Gray...
Thanks for the info...
Are all Your 25 Routes in "BWR-2012" Non Electric...
(ie) NON overhead wire or third Rail...
I have only tried 12 of Your Routes... Each seem to be a new experience ....

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
We dont have third rail in Ireland, Ed. The suburban trains in Dublin (DART - Dublin Area Rapid Transit, thanksbetojaysus it's not Frankfurt!) are 1500v DC overhead wire. No BWR routes have been electrified.
Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
how long is the dart and is it comeing to open bve I have been on it 3 times

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
The DART would be about 30-40 miles long, but the main problem is good quality photographs of the trains, stations etc. As all DART stations are barriered and both myself and Gray don't go into Dublin a lot (I myself only go in 4 times a year, and not to stations), getting these specific shots of the stuff is not easy. If we could get the right shots, I'm sure it *could* be in the pipeline. But at the moment, it is merely a dream.
For the BWR, all the stock is 'local' to us - minimum travel, max enjoyment.

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
lol... Well, we have DB Regio Hessen S-Bahn Frankfurt am Main round here Or shortly just the Frankfurt S-Bahn.
1.5kV DC? The DART is quite new, isn't it? Strange one would decide for this system... It made sense back when Poland was electrified, but with modern technology neither the decision for such a low voltage nor the decision for DC would seem sensible. However, assuming it was engineers and not politicians or financist who decided on the matter, there surely were reasons to do so. Do you know them maybe?

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
@Quork -
Although the thought of electrification of suburban parts of BWR was considered before the release of BWR-2012, there are no plans for a Dart, or Dart inspired route on celtictrainsim at present.
The "new kid on the block" is the LUAS, which is a tram system. Dart has been around a while now, about 30 years AFAIK. Rolling stock has been modernised or replaced but the power system remains the same.1.5kV DC? The DART is quite new, isn't it?

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
30 years is quite young in this matter. 30 years ago, 3-phase-current technology was already being used for rail traction, making high-voltage AC supply the easiest one (lowest losses, easy handling (transformation))

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
The DART was introduced around 1984. I think the 1.5kv DC system was inspired by mainland Europe, but don't quote me on that!

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
Whatever, one thing's for sure. We ain't gonna change it for the forseeable future. Seeing as our stupid government have given the Bundesbank all our dosh (by converting Bank debt into sovereign debt as a result of bailing out the crooked banks) plus more in the future that we haven't got, so we are all in debt until we will be 300 years old at least.
Goodbye 1.5kv dart and welcome to donkey and cart, and I don't need to spell out the exhaust emissions for that! Lucky old Dublin

You probably speak of Deutsche Bank and not the Bundesbank. The Bundesbank is the central bank of Germany (just like the Central Bank of Ireland in your country), while Deutsche Bank is a completely private bank dealing with such ethical things like food price speculation and other atrocities called "investment banking" in the culprit's language.

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
Electrification began at Dun Laoghaire around 1981. I wondered if the low voltage was because of the limited height clearance on the route as proximity to 25kvac is more dangerous than (relatively) low voltage DC? You would have to ask CIE for the reasons why that system was chosen in preference to what should be a more economical alternative.The DART was introduced around 1984.
Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
To be honest I think they're all as bad as each other. The Deutsche Bank, Anglo-Irish Bank, ECB, they were all happy to have their snouts in the trough when the going was good and the property markets made them rich and fat. Capitalism sucks.You probably speak of Deutsche Bank and not the Bundesbank.
Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
The height might be of importance... Basically you say minimum safety distance to be 1cm/kV for electricians, 10cm/kV for adaequatly educated personnel and 20cm/kV for the general public.
The central banks, as Bundesbank, ECB, Central Bank of Ireland, they are merely trustees of the sovereigns money; they issue and regulate it. They're pretty much the same in non-capitalist systems as well. Even in communism, someone has to manage the whole thing. The central banks are public authorities and have not much more common with "the banks" than the name itself.

I hope we're adequately educating our customers before they board our 25kV trains (it's a bit difficult to board a train without coming within 5 metres over the overhead wires...)

Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
That's probably is country-specific It's 15cm/150cm/300cm in Germany. There's no physical reason for keeping a distance of more than 25cm towards your overhead wire, so 1.5m for personnel and 3m for passengers would still be enough. The reason for the extra distance is, people don't think about the dangers. Or if they do, many think only the lower wire of the catenary is under voltage. Also, as long as they do only what they are supposed to do, they'll never come nearer than 3m. Metallic balloons, climbing on vehicles etc. is forbidden by regulations. Of course, there's those youngsters whose IQ lies somewhere between 7 (able to breathe) and 10, who think it's great to climb on cargo carriages... They're regularly found in somewhat carbonated and dehydrated form on diverse railway installations. Darwin, you know

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

LOL
And that map says Ireland is "nicht elektrifiziert", the truth is it's "ein wenig elektrifziert" although its only about 40 km
Re: Differentiation between Electric and Non-Electric Trains
Actually, if you look very closely there is a tiny orange dot over Dublin!
The way it's drawn is a bit inconsistent though. The whole of Wales is shown as 25kV, despite having no electrified railway at all (unless somebody can prove me wrong...)

This is all great stuff to hear but I'd prefer that we stick to the topic. you can create another topic with this in the off topic or real railway section.
