Attributed Power on the BLW Norther Pacific FT units

Following the purchase of the BLW NP Freight Pack (BTW, they are a great addition along the RMD-East route. Congratulations!), I have noticed on the FT units that the Power is set at 805kw for all FT units while the other F-units seem to show correctly the power in Kw corresponding to 1350hp for each unit (A to D).

Information provided on the NP Historical site (nprha.org) rates the FT units, specifically those included in the pack (checked the numbers) at 1350 hp, which should correcpond at around 1010kw and not 805kw. That would correspond the current numbers of the pack to 1080hp instead of 1350hp.

Are the numbers (805kw) on the pack still correct despite the difference in Power? Maybe there is something I am not aware of. This is why I just wanted to check this up.

Thanks

Hello again

Have noticed a mistake on my earlier post: the 1350 hp only applies to the FT units and not the following (F3, F7 and F9) which are rated at 1500.

(I'll try to be more vigilant next time. Thanks)
