MG sets often have flywheels.

Just the same you had made a blanket statement that was easy to punch holes in.
On top of that there are electric motors that do not have iron armatures precisely
to reduce the rotating mass. Also the blades of high speed turbines are very
decidedly not heavy, simply because they would come off at the high rotational
rates (in excess of 100,000 rpm). Care to join the us readers?

No turbine on diesel electric train. Piston diesel engine, driving
electric generator, driving electric traction motor. The loading is so
heavy that there is no "flywheel effect" of any of these components that
makes any difference. The diesel engine rpm determines the rest based on
the load. All three sponge into each other and rpm reductions play right
down through the chain immediately without any flywheel effect
whatsoever. Magnetic fields push hard... or not.

Perhaps a water turbine cares not about the mass of its blades, but a
jet engine turbine most certainly cannot have high centrifugal forces or
the blades will explode (fly apart). They are deliberately kept as light
as possible. The entire assembly rotates easily, to be sure, but I would
not attribute a lot of "flywheel effect" or gyroscopic inertia to it,
though it will have far more than ANY train component. It spins at 100k
rpm!
