Class 172 Turbostar Ordered

wrote: Why 172? How do they differ from 170s - are they the 75mph version? Apparently yes, lighter weight, suburban layout, with similar bogies to the 220 Voyagers. They will also have I suspect different engines - the MTU 183 (on class 170/171) is no longer made. In continental Europe the new-ish MTU 1800 is the 183 replacement - but of course any new DMU could have any engine - MAN seem to be gaining mainland popularity. -- Nick |
