A locomotive equipped with a power unit consisting of a free piston gas generator combined with a gas turbine was built for experimental use. The observations recorded during the testing period and during one and a half year of actual operation are presented by the writers who also mention the steps taken to meet more adequately the railroad requirements. Taking into account all the learnings, 1000 hp and 2000 hp locomotives are dealt with and the authors give a description of the projects. It is planned to build several 2000 hp units.
