Traction

East of Doncaster in the 1980s

The Train That Just Keeps Going – Even on One Engine • As the iconic Inter-City 125 High Speed Train winds down from front line service after half a century, former Fleet Engineer Roy Kethro reflects on the reliability issues that plagued the power cars at various times during their lifespan and how they were mitigated.

Class 60 livery variety

The 1994 West Highland Centenary Celebrations

The Life and Times of D1746 • The Brush Type 4s of Classes 47 and 48 eventually totalled 512 units, although due to accident damage, the whole class was never on BR’s books at any one time. The locomotives originally carried the numbers D1500-D1999 and D1100-D1111. Except for the last few class members, all were new in two-tone green with yellow panels. Western Region locomotives also carried the red route disc under the number.
