Notes:
These locomotives were designed to replace the steam locomotives being phased out from broad gauge branch line service. They are powered by a single 251B 12-cylinder diesel engine, developing 1977 CV at 1000 rpm under standard conditions (20C at sea level). All locomotives have electric transmission. The first ten are equipped with a shunt wound, separately excited, self-ventilated 10-pole generator. This is a BHEL type TG 10931 AZ. The last five locomotives have a 3-phase, star-connected, separately excited, self-ventilated, 10-pole alternator of BHEL type TA 10105 AZ. All machines have six axle-hung, nose-suspended, series-wound, force-ventilated 4-pole traction motors of BHEL type 4501 AZ. They share the same 94:17 gear ratio but the first batch have a top speed of 105 kmh, whilst the latter five are rated at 100 kmh. The eleventh locomotive and onwards are provided with dynamic brakes.
The under frame is an all welded construction comprising of two box section main beams with integral fuel tank at the centre, with suitable transverse braces and stretchers at load points. The underframe is capable of withstanding a buffing load of 400t. The locomotive is equipped with two 3-axle bogies of Trimount type fully equalised and fitted with individual traction motors on all axles (see above). The bogie rotates on a swivel bearing mounted on a single piece cast steel bogie frame. There are two load-bearing pads, one on each side of the cross member of the frame; the three thus form a 3-point support to carry the load on each bogie. The first carries 60% of the vertical load and also transmits and receives the traction and braking forces. The two side bearers equally share the remaining 40% of the vertical load. The suspension is in four groups of springs, each group consisting of two outer and two inner coils. One inner coil in each group of springs works in conjunction with a friction snubber.
