Thread: Thailand First electric locomotive to be tested this year

Their capacity for spouting such utter bumfluffery is inexhaustible.

If talking bollox was a currency they'd be richer indeed.

I want to see it tested pulling a load.

The originally promised German engine won't be delivered, instead China is offering

A few greased palms. 150-200kms is not very far.

^It isn’t and I don’t think Thailand has purchased the locomotive yet.

Energy Absolute

They should consider contacting Mercedes for their battery technology.

Battery swapping stations every 150kms...sounds like the old pony express mail in the US in the 1800s

^Might work out well then.

Using your last Living In Thailand Forum thread “I spent 13 hours in a first-class sleeper car on one of Thailand's longest train ride”. Let’s see if the trip would accommodate stops at every 150 km or less.

Just to let you know. I enjoy trains and have taken many rides here in Thailand (top bunk). They stop for more than 10 minutes at stations.

There are 132 stations along the Northern Line although the faster intercity trains only stop at a small number of these stations.

Thailand’s Northern train line runs a distance of 751 kilometres between Hua Lamphong train station in Bangkok and Chiang Mai train station in Thailand’s Northern Region.

5 stops (+). Think we have a winner: Bangkok to Chiang Mai

so where does the electricity come from to power the (mined by slave labour lithium) batteries in this chinese built piece of junk?

hint. 90% of thailands energy comes from oil gas or coal (2021 figures)

The article mentions a shunting test coming up. If it is intended as a shunter it will never be far from its charging point.
