Locomotive height[edit]

Thank you, Carlosperis. Could you please add a reference to the document giving the actual dimensions of the locomotive, or supply an online link to such a document. A height above railhead of "about 4130 mm" is rather vague, given the current controversy about this locomotive. André Kritzinger (talk) 12:49, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot make public the contractual technical specification or the quality sheet, Prasa has to do it, but Prasa confirmed yesterday that the height of the Afro4000 is not the same as the Euro4000 one, as it was requested to be reduced during the tender phase: http://www.pressreader.com/south-africa/sowetan/20150707/281805692595562/TextView — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlosperis (talk • contribs) 13:18, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
