Hmmm, title says it all really. So, assuming some kind of normal passenger loading in a 2+8 formation, what's the approx top speed of an HST with one dead power car?
Years ago as a young enthusiast, I heard that if an HST was running on only one power car, it was better that it was the back one. Is this true? And if so, does that relate to acceleration or top speed? my understanding of physics can't understand how it would make the slightest difference.
