message: To give a full picture of the EuroSPrinter series, I tried to merge the relevant classes into one article. Please feel free to enhance this stub ;-) --Sunshinemind 09:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Done a 'tidy up' on this article -see above - still a few things need doing
Things I did
*Removed excess duplicate wiki links
*capitalised 'class' when it is part of the name of a locomotive ie "Class 101" - hope that was right
*Removed "three phase locomotive description" - this is at the least confusing I think - all the four electric power supplies mentioned are two phase. - if it referes to some sort of motor arrangement then please explain properly in the text with references.. thanks.
 
*Linkified some articles that do not as yet exist - but clearly should as they already have french/german/ etc wikiarticles..
*Attempted to englishify the translation (only a few very minor changes)
Hope that all was constructive. ThanksCarrolljon (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Would a 'technical' section be a good idea - to explain briefly the innards? - the article is already long. - any comments?
Thanks again to whoever wrote it - I found it very useful.Carrolljon (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: ===Amtrak ACS-64===

In October 2010, Amtrak ordered 70 new locomotives derived from both the EuroSprinter and new Vectron designs; they are designated the ACS-64 and are scheduled to enter service in February 2013.
The problem is that nowhere does it say that this is related to either eurosprinter or vectron locomotives (that I've yet seen) Sf5xeplus (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I am planning on substituting the current image of the OEBB 1016 electric locomotive with this images, which I think gives a better perspective and better understanding of how this locomotive looks like. Any comments before I do the change please? Thanks.

message: - In Hungary the Taurus EuroSprinter electric locomotive is unofficially called "DoReMi" because it makes all the sounds in Kodaly's musical scale while starting from a stand-still. This is due to some semiconductor weirdness.
- There is a design problem with the Taurus: it is excessively powerful, as there is no way to fully utilize 8,400hp with just four axles and a UIC tow hook. This kind of great power would require a six-axle locomotive to fully utilize.
However, in Europe the ideal loco is a four-axle with max. 6k shp. One such loco will pull most trains adequately. Yet, if the train is too big, couple two of them. Coupling three is excessive and makes no sense, because the UIC towing hook is allowed to break at >60 metric tons pull.
Because of the excessively powerful machinery and the 230km/h max speed capability crammed into the Taurus loco, it has a very high price tag.
That is why the "economy" minded TRAXX loco has been more successful in the european 4 axle electric arena recently, with its moderate power and customer-selected top speed of 140/160/200 km/h, where the lower two tiers have simpler tech boogies, cutting much of the the price. E.g. the MAV Hungarian Railways has had ten Tauruses since the late-1990s, but they decided to buy/lease 3 dozen new TRAXXes of the 160km/h variety last year, for economy reasons. 82.131.210.163 (talk) 12:47, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
