ICR 22000 railcar

[Sulzer201]

Hi,

Just wondering can anyone confirm the correct weight of the Irish Rail ICR 22000 dmu? Wikipedia is giving them as 63 T per car! I know they carry lots of equipment underneath and the bogies are hefty but surely 63 tonnes per car is very heavy? If this is correct - then a 3 car 22000 ICR would be similar (in terms of total train weight), to a class 141/181/121 + 3 MKIIIs!http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/images/smilies/confused.png

 

Thanks all.

Sound about right when you add in fuel, water passengers ect

I recall reading somewhere that a three car set unloaded weigh 150 tonnes, so the 50,000 kgs makes sense.
