What type of traction motors (model numbers) and main generators do the Belgian locos of types 52, 53, 54, 55, 62 and 63 have?
How did the types 64 and 65 behaved compared to their diesel electric companions?

According to the technical descriptions of the sncb:bengt schreef:What type of traction motors (model numbers) and main generators do the Belgian locos of types 52, 53, 54, 55, 62 and 63 have?
How did the types 64 and 65 behaved compared to their diesel electric companions?
-52, 53, 54: main generator D12 (GM EMD); traction motors D19 (Smit Slikkerveer Netherlands, built under license from GM EMD).
-55: main generator D22 (GM EMD); traction motors D29 (ACEC/SEM built under license from GM EMD).
-62, 63: main generator D22 (GM EMD); traction motors DN 44.1 (ACEC, probably built under license from Westinghouse)

Hej Bengt (jag tyckar att du är svensksprakig, inte?

The prototypes classes 64 and 65 have always been very unreliable - the main reason why class 64 was withdrawn pretty early in its career, and class 65 rebuilt (re: new motorization) and saw a second life as class 75. I hope this is good enough an answer to your second question, if not: feel free to ask more! I have somewhere an old book about class 64, I could always give some more info on demand.

Re: EMD traction motor and generator types?
I've looked it up, but that's not completely true. Prototype class 66 was unreliable and had new engines built in when they were turned into class 71 (II).Joeri schreef:Hej Bengt (jag tyckar att du är svensksprakig, inte?

Class 65 on the other hand was reliable, but they came to late. The SNCB no longer had the need for an extra series of locomotives. Because the prototypes were still good, they turned them into shunting locomotives class 75.
