assisting locomotive Explanation: Lásd a Magyar-angol vasútüzemi szakszótárt. És ha találkozol az előfogatolt vonattal, az már double-headed train lesz. |

"bank engine"/"banker" Explanation: Look up "bank engine" on Wikipedia. In it, it says that the "bank engine" is colloquially called a "banker". If you look up "előfogatmozdony" (one word) in the Orszagh nagyszotar, they give the definition "banker". Also, if you google "bank engine", you will get over 10,000 hits. |

peer agreement (net): +3pilot engine Explanation: Wikipedia: "Special terminology employed When a train formation includes two locomotives double-heading the service, they are commonly distinguished by the terms Pilot engine for the leading locomotive, and Train engine for the second locomotive. This should not be confused with the totally different procedure of adding a Banking engine to the rear of a train to assist up a hill or away from a heavy start." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 óra (2008-05-30 19:31:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_engine#Special_terminolog... |
