    VLocity have one engine per car.
    route14

    It has 2 engines per car. One for driving the train and one for generating electricity.
    "simstrain"

    Since we are being so enamoured with your superior CAF, how about you actually consider performance?

    VLO 3 car set, 3 x 559kw engines, plus  3 auxiliary for lights, heat, cool etc. Top speed 210kph, de-scaled to 160kph

    CAF 3 car set, 2 x 523kw engines, For everything Full Stop.  Top speed 160 kph (desiel mode), 121kph (electric mode).

    I wonder which I'd rather climb hills.

    cheers
