Class 376 ride (fast Acceleration)+nice motor sound!

Boa noite amigos, trem muito top. Like merecido e tamojunto

This train and its younger brother (the 378) sound amazing because of the deeper part mixed with the electrostar sound!
0:08 was just the beginning of my favourite part!

[@bb-3653]

Its a different style of motor/gear box set up, makes that really deep noise, With the electrostar traction control. Its a nice hybrid mix of e-star variation. These are likely still capable of 100mph given how long it takes for the motor to raise in pitch at certain speeds. When compared to other trains that have a similar motor/gear box sound set up. I.e some german trains bombadier made have a similar sound. They likely have a lower gear ratio than 375s. But can still hit 90/100mph. As a result they can probably use slightly less power to get to 100mph too. But thats mostly an 'educated'guess of mine.

FAST RIDE of class 376 here 💥💥

UNIT DATA:
CLASS 376: bombadier
*Weight:*
193 tons
*Max speed* (permitted likely, but not full speed) 75mph
True gear ratio speed:
*probably nearer 90mph to 100mph* based on sound and assumed RPM of motors.
*Length* (100metres)
*power output*
1200kw according to wiki
Acceleration rate 0.66m/S squared
Time from 0-60mph: about 64 seconds (no full power displayed until around 5mph to 10 mph)

The acceleration is actually 0.66 m/s/s

[@gapthemind--mindthegap8524]

@@Solomon_C oh some sources say its 0.62

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 The 375 is 0.62. On Wikipedia, it says the 376 is 0.66. Go check - I just checked and it still says it. So does Eversholt. So I think 0.66 is more likely.

[@gapthemind--mindthegap8524]

​@@Solomon_Ccoolio!.maybe it hits max acceleration a bit later in the acceleration sequence because it hits 30mph in like 22 -23seconds.
Tell me your hypothesis on these units acceleration then ? I think it really picks up towards mid speed and lasts a long ass time

[@gapthemind--mindthegap8524]

These are fast after 40mph. Initially they are pretty slow...for some reason. Low speed paired with power perhaps? But mid speed is pretty constant !! I speculate these are geared to a higher speed than they are rated because the motor scream takes long to raise in pitch, likely indicating its not near its max RPM (revolutions per minute/spinning rate of the motors) leaving much potential for high speed beyond 75mph. (Just a prediction)
Class 376 permitted speed= 75mph
predicted gearing ratio for this unit speed =90mph .
( But lacks dampers on the bogies to achieve it )

[@TheUnknown313]

Might be due to the lower voltage of 3rd rail DC. Only reason I say that because the Class 378's (which are basically the 376's, with differences of course and is dual voltage) under AC pulls off like a bullet when the driver wants to. Yet under DC mode, it seems to be reduced.

[@gapthemind--mindthegap8524]

​@@TheUnknown313 actually the 378s are alot faster than these even on the DC lines. I have an old video on my channel if you wanna check it out of the 378s between norwood jnc and forest hill . The 376s are limited probably due to southeastern specificications being different. Also I think 378s are updated versions better software and hardware etc. Electrostar 2 !!!! I've got a second video of the 376s coming in an hour or so stay tuned!

[@TheUnknown313]

@@gapthemind--mindthegap8524 Oh! I stand corrected and thanks for the information. Will check out your other videos and will wait for your other upload.

​@TheUnknown313 bro ill actually make another 378 video soon (this is the creator of the video it's my personal channel where i just watch videos mostly)
