"older Southern locos had a flywheel-generator system to keep the motors rolling for a while"That's right - I'd forgotten that. "Gatwick Express was loco hauled but I've never seen it using the diesel part of Class 73" Of course - I misremembered, I was thinking the Gatwick Express had the pure electric class 33s, but it did of course have the electrodiesels. "The Met of course used loco hauled trains too" Yep, until the early 190s when the electrification beyond Rickmansworth happened. They replaced the electric locos with steam locos at Rickmansworth. I'm not sure what they did about gapping out, though. |
