 OVERVIEW

OF

GT26 LOCOMOTIVE

The manufactured locomotives will provide the latest in microprocessor

controlled wheel creep systems to maximise adhesion over varying rail
conditions at all track speeds. They will also utilise the EMD 16-645E3C
diesel engine as prime mover. Scheduled maintenance and locomotive
“down time” will be kept to an absolute minimum by the use of tried and
proven lubricating oil, fuel oil and air filtration systems capable of operating
efficiently for the 92 days duration between scheduled inspections. Easy
access for servicing and exchange of all components will be provided.

The electric power transmission system will consist of a remanufactured EMD

AR10 - D14 traction alternator driving six D 77 traction motors. Alternator
excitation is controlled using the Qtron QES - 3 microprocessor control
system which provides controlled wheel creep to maximise adhesion levels.

The locomotive will be fitted with high tension and low tension wiring using
Exane fire retardant cable throughout.

A 26 L air brake system will be fitted. This system will be contained within a
standard AAR driver’s controller in line with a clean cab layout Air brake
piping will include an air dryer and final filter will be installed to exclude
moisture and particles from the locomotive air system as well as that of
trailing rolling stock.

Primary air filtration for the diesel engine, traction motor cooling and traction
alternator cooling will be achieved using inertial air filters. Each individual
element will be able to be removed from the bank for cleaning at three year
intervals. A 4 kW extractor fan is used to continually remove airborne
particles during normal operation. Secondary engine air filtration will utilise
fibreglass “BAGGY” filter elements.

Lubricating oil filtration as well as fuel filtration will be achieved using high
efficiency pleated paper filter elements. A 6” lube oil cooler with a new
mechanically bonded core will be provided.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
3.1 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A quality assurance program is a broad – based plan to ensure that every

locomotive built to the same standards. Quality is the result of the people,
who perform the work, skilled people who care about their and their high
standards of a finished product.
It begins with clear, detailed work instructions that define assembly and
testing requirements.
Training is an essential element, so that production personnel are able to do
the work confidently, accurately and safely. Finally, the program includes a
set of procedures for inspection and testing to verify those standards.

Program Overview. The Quality Assurance program based on ISO9002,

Quality Systems for Production and Installation, contains provisions to
identify and comply with contract drawings and specifications and referenced
codes and standards. Its policies, procedures, and instructions:

• Provide control of activities affecting the quality and reliability of

identified units, systems, and components.

• Assure that such activities are accomplished under controlled

conditions.

• Address special controls, processes, test equipment, tools, and

skills to attain the required quality and reliability.

• Verify quality by inspection and test.

• Provide for training of personnel.

• Provide regular review of the program for status and adequacy.

Key concepts and operating principles are:

• The existing, proven system will be tailored to incorporate

procedures specific to the customer’s requirements.

• The QA approach will ensure the continuity of quality from design

and manufacture through, acceptance and maintenance.

The features of the organisation and procedures assure a responsive and

responsible program to deliver the completed locomotives fully tested in
operable condition with ease of maintenance to be performed.

12
Communication with Quality Representatives. Prior to the start of
work, the QA manager will meet with personnel to establish a mutual
understanding of the system and to identify communication interfaces and
documentation requirements. Client hold points or witness points of in-
process inspection and tests will also be identified. Contract-specific criteria
will be included as an addendum to the Quality Assurance Manual. The
proposed system will be revised as required, and during the term of the
contract additional changes will be made, as necessary, to maintain a
workable inspection system. Proposed changes will be submitted for review
and approval in accordance with contract requirements prior to
implementation.

Organisation for Management of Quality. The quality assurance staff

provides objectivity and independence within the manufacturing and
maintenance operation while being responsive to the program’s
requirements and schedules.

The Quality Assurance Manager will provide technical direction and support
on an as-needed basis. He will also perform oversight and management
reviews on an unscheduled basis to verify implementation of the quality
assurance system and to evaluate its effectiveness.

Inspection and Tests. All work performed is inspected and tested to

include in-process examination, measurements, final inspection and
identification of non-conformances. The work is re-inspected after corrective
action to resolve any non-conformance. Work procedures and tests are
developed by engineering and reviewed by QA. Testing is at hold-points and
is conducted by qualified inspectors and technicians.

Quality verification is accomplished by performing tests, examinations,

measurements, and inspections using approved procedures and certified
personnel. Personnel are independent of those individuals performing the
work being inspected. These inspections and tests will be identified on the
travellers and process control checklists with the applicable accept/reject
criteria specified on the work document.

Corrective Actions. The system for corrective action is prescribed by the

operating procedure and is implemented by forms and checklists which
structure follow-up actions if necessary, the QA manager has direct referral
to the program manager to allow corrective action.

Records. Records include all completed travellers, inspection and test

records, certification, and correspondence. The status of inspection/test of
any item will be maintained from two primary sources: travellers or process
sheets and a schedule of inspections and tests. In addition, photo
documentation will be used to record deficiencies in order to retrain
workmen and inspectors.

Material Issuance/Control. We will purchase only from approved

suppliers, using requisitions based on contract drawings and specifications.
These procedures, coupled with receipt inspection, form the basic quality
control system for materials. Purchased items will be subjected to receipt
inspection, as necessary, to verify conformance to the procurement
documents and contract requirements. Non – conforming material will be
separated.

Process Control. Material testing, welding, and other processes critical to

quality that is performed by us and our sub – contractors will be performed
by certified personnel using approved procedures. Qualification records of
personnel and equipment will be maintained in a current status.

Procedures for welding, heat treating, and other processes are prepared and
maintained to meet the requirements of the contract specifications,
applicable codes, and quality standards. These include procedures for
operator qualification.

Calibration/Certification Control. The QA manager is involved in defining

the methods for control and calibration of tools, gauges, instruments, and
other measuring and test devices used in work procedures affecting quality.
He is responsible for having calibration of measuring and test equipment
performed by an approved calibration lab. Calibration is in accordance with
written procedures using certified measurement standards.

MANUALS AND CATALOGUES

3.2 MANUALS AND CATALOGUES

The manuals and catalogues will be developed similar to OE specifications.

Support from OEMs will be utilised as necessary; Our technical publications
staff will manage all aspects of technical manual development and
production. Electronic production hardware and software will facilitate
production of the complete sets of documents required.

Manuals. A set of preliminary draft manuals will be prepared prior to

delivery of the first locomotive. The draft manuals will be based on
preliminary information. These manuals will be developed according to the
specified format.

A set of final draft manuals will be provided. As part of the final issuance,
after all comments are incorporated, one reproducible master copy of
maintenance instructions and replacement parts catalogues (MIRPC) and two
copes of each manual will be issued. Also, one master copy and fifty copes
of the driver’s operation handbook will be furnished.

The inputs to the MIRPC will include:

• System description
• Propulsion equipment
• Running equipment
• Special test equipment
• Maintenance instructions

Draft copies of the parts catalogue will be submitted for review concurrently
with the maintenance portion. Data pages for the final catalogue will be
provided.

Running maintenance Information. This information will contain all the

instructions required to perform scheduled maintenance, including daily
through 320 week inspection, lubrication, adjustment and parts removal. It
will also include all schematics and system operation information required to
accomplish on-line troubleshooting, fault isolation, and on locomotive repair.

16
Section 3.3

TESTING
3.3 TESTING

The test plan will support the applicable test requirements of the contract
and will be governed by our Quality Assurance (QA) program. The plan will
verify compliance with:

• Component and systems performance criteria

• Engineering and technical requirements
• Material and component certification
• Other testing requirements of the contract

Typical Procedures. Typical procedures include methodologies for testing

of contractor-supplied components before assembly and subassemblies and
systems during the manufacturing and maintenance process.

Contractor Certifications of Compliance and Inspection: When

supplier certifications of compliance or inspection are required by the
specification, QA completes QA Addendum to the purchase requisition.

During the remanufacture process incoming shipments are inspected in the

receiving department by the receiving inspector. If the required
certifications are not part of the shipment, the receiving inspector makes a
non - conformance report (NCR), the shipment will not be released. A
similar version would be put in place for the on-going maintenance. The
material control department is responsible for securing supplier compliance.
If the required certification is part of the shipment it will be filed in the
relevant purchase order file. Files are maintained for five years, so that
certifications are available for inspection by the client as necessary.

Test controls and reports: The QA document control maintains a complete

audit trial of test requirement, test results, and engineering approvals for
each sub system .Files will be indexed by system, sub – system, component
serial number, contractor part number, and test hardware serial number

When items have been inspected by QA and our engineering and are ready
for testing, the Project Engineer will notify the client of the impending test
using the Notice of Test form.

Standard QA forms for process control will be used to document the test.
Test reports and failure/discrepancy analysis will be completed by the project
engineer, with copies forwarded to QA document control. Reports are
developed jointly by the Engineering and Quality Assurance Departments.
Data is compiled and delivered in the form of a Locomotive History Book.

RELIABILITY PROGRAM

3.4 RELIABILITY PROGRAM

Our plan for the development of locomotive reliability will make extensive
use of data and criteria resulting form previous manufacture programs,
addressing performance as a complete system as well as the reliability
requirements of the individual subsystems and components. The objectives
of the reliability program will be to establish, by analysis, the approved goals
for availability.

The overall reliability plan requires input at each step of design, production,
testing and evaluation.
