The Renfe DHs gave 2000 bhp per unit I think. They were MD870s. Two of those

And thats what Swindon should have done instead of the Western. While
the Western was a fine machine, to my mind it still has too much BTC
and not enough WR/Germany in it.
The Warship was a most excellent design for its time, the Western
while no way a backward step was not exactly a full step forward.
