Quote:I figured that dynamics would not work with the torpedo tubes due to clearance and perhaps overheating issues, but I was afraid that as soon as I said that the passenger equipped Gp7 or 9 versus dynamics was an either/or proposition, someone would come up with a pic to show that I was wrong.CP had dynamic braked "torpedo tube" GP9s.
