    I *think* they are 8axle BoBoBoBo but I need to find my files.
    BBBB - they were diesel electric but monomotor bogies
    Here is some of it, in very shorthand form:
    CEM / MTE built 24 in total
    10 for CFCO, (French) Congo
    13 for RNCFC, Cameroun
    1 for RNCFM, Malagasy / Madagascar
    CO-Chemin de Fer Congo-Océan (CFCO) = Congo-Ocean Railway = Pointe-
    Noire / Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire in Congo
    CFCO BBBB
    1067 mm gauge OR 1000 mm gauige ? <-------------- problem here is
    different gen sources
    specified to haul 1900 tonne on 16 mm/m gradient
    80 km/h maximum
    16.2 tonne axle load maximum
    50 m minimum curve
    CAFL built the monomotor bogies
    CEM built loco
    SACM built engine
    ~50000 kgf maximum tractive effort
    ~35000 kgf 21 km/h continuous TE
    125 tonnes empty weight
    ~130 tonnes in working order
    1700 kW electric dynamic brake
    engine set at 3300 metric hp for CFCO
    engine = AGO ESHR SACM
    twin winding (i.e x2) 1650 A 636 V alternator
    traction motor 830A 630V 390 rpm
    ... 615 Amp 845 volt 510 rpm at 80 km/h
    32 per cent field eakening
    EDB 425 kW per motor separte resistor
    excited by DC from main alternator
    19304 mm long
    19800 over cpuplers
