99: 17: 55: 202:. Although of modest power, 2,000 hp (1,500 kW), they were heavy and also geared for a high tractive effort at low speeds; so they required good traction. Rather than more conventional three-axled bogies for a Co-Co arrangement, a four-axled bogie was required. This would have been an excessively long wheelbase and so hard on track curves. A solution was to articulate the bogie itself, making each bogie a Bo+Bo chassis. 321: 150: 16: 98: 140:
such as the South African or Japanese narrow gauge systems with long locomotives found Bo+Bo advantageous over Bo-Bo as there was less overhang of the couplers and so less sideways misalignment on tight curves.
