Performance of a PT36 vs a PT38

[ronmarabito2002]

I've run coaches with both. I would not consider the 6V92 again. On
a small coach, it might be fine, but between the two coaches, there is
not a lot of weight difference, thus go with the 8V92 for performance.
You won't be sorry, unless other considerations are more important.
