WDG-4 HHP Diesel locomotives are being converted to AC (electric) traction at the Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi. The converted class is called WAG-11. Obviously, Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) is assisting the process. Software validation and testing is underway. ( )

Don't have correct info on this, but i guess they have changed the motors too as existing Siemens motors don't have 1000 HP rating. Will try to confirm from industry sources.Can you tell if we are retaining the Traction motors of EMD into this conversion?

OK Ankit, Traction motors have been retained from WDG 4 locomotive in WAG 11. However owing to increase in current, cooling has been enhanced.Can you tell if we are retaining the Traction motors of EMD into this conversion?

Let me assure you this is not even remotely the case.

The reason for my absences is far more mundane than your view, in recent months I have become far far busier so have little free time as of now but rest assured I remain committed to this forum and these subjects.
You don't know???? What the hell....Pak ownership of this? Eh? What nonsense!
