86.02 Other rail locomotives; locomotive tenders. 8602.10 - Diesel-electric locomotives 8602.90 - Other (A) LOCOMOTIVES es of rail locomotives other than those owered from an external This group covers all source of electricity or y electric accumulators (heading 86.01) w atever the type of power unit (steam engine, diesel engine, gas turbine, petrol engme, pneumatic power engine, etc). ?? E These include : (1) Diesel locomotives which are of three types : (a) Diesel-electric locomotives in which the diesel engine drives a generator to produce electricity which in turn powers traction motors driwng the wheels. (b) Diesel-b draulic locomotives in which power fiom a diesel engine is transmitted to the whee s using a hydraulic system. T (c) Diesel-mechanical locomotives where power fiom the diesel engine reaches the wheels though a clutch or fluid flywheel and gear box. (2) Steam locomotives of all types, including turbine locomotives using an electric drive, tank locomotives and fireless locomotives, i.e., those fitted with a steam reservoir instead of a boiler which is charged fiom an industrial plant. The heading includes certain locomotives of moderate power which are not equipped with bogies and are usually fitted with only two driving axles. They are mainly used in stations for moving wagons and by industrial facilxties connected with railways. (B) LOCOMOTIVE TENDERS Locomotive tenders are vehicles, coupled to steam locomotives, which carry the water and fuel required for the boiler. They consist essentially of a fiame carried on two or more axles and a sheet metal superstructure comprising a closed tank for water and a coal bunker or fuel-oil tank. Tractors constructed to travel on both road and rail are excluded (heading 87.01).
1.- This Chapter does not cover : (a) Railway or tramway sleepers of wood or of concrete, or concrete guide-track sections for hovertrains (heading 44.06 or 68.10); (b) Railway or tramway track construction material of iron or steel of heading 73.02; or (c) Electrical signalling, safety or traffic control equipment of heading 85.30. 2.- Heading 86.07 applies, inter alia, to : (a) Axles, wheels, wheel sets (running gear), metal tyres, hoops and hubs and other parts of wheels; (b) Frames, underframes, bogies and bissel-bogies; (c) Axle boxes; brake gear; (d) Buffers for rolling-stock; hooks and other coupling gear and corridor connections; (e) Coachwork. 3.- Subject to the provisions of Note 1 above, heading 86.08 applies, inter alia, to : (a) Assembled track, turntables, platform buffers, loading gauges; (b) Semaphores, mechanical signal discs, level crossing control gear, signal and point controls, and other mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment, whether or not fitted for electric lighting, for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields.
