Casualty report states: flat batteries - battery charging contactor tips burnt.
88,300 miles since last classified repair (10.04.71).
Conclusions: 22.12.71 DME KX states: Since the institution of more frequent inspection of these
contactors relatively little trouble has been experienced with them on locomotives allocated to this
division. This failure is therefore being taken up with the electrician who carried out the previous
examination six days earlier.
17 - Finsbury Park TMD.

'LD 125' exam.
1N29 18:15 King's Cross - Newcastle, to York (35 minute delay York - 1542 forward).
Casualty report states: loss of power & ETH - No.4 traction motor cable fouling dumping valve
operating rod, causing valve not to close fully, resulting in air escaping and the contactor dropping out.
88,320 miles since last classified repair (10.04.71), does not concur with last casualty, however, I
believe these mileages were probably recorded at time of various reports, rather than at time of casualty.
Conclusions: 21/01.72 DME KX states: This is a most unusual defect. In view of the fact that the
locomotive had been in service over seven months since previous Classified Repair it is difficult to
believe that this fault had been present all that time. On the other hand I can see no reason for the
cable becoming disturbed in service.
York TMD.
Repairs - No.4 traction motor cable removed and repositioned in cleats.
s21 - York TMD.
22 - York TMD.
1A35 18:20 York - King's Cross, to Doncaster (8 minute delay Doncaster - 1762 forward).
Casualty report states: No.1 engine exhaust lagging smoking badly.
Conclusions: 15.12.71 DME KX states: This locomotive had been standing at York since 20th November and
was its first working, therefore I would suggest that due to the bad weather conditions the exhaust
lagging may have been damp and the reported fault may just have been the lagging drying out - please
see subsequent casualty on 23.11.71. In many of these cases there is really no need for the driver to
fail the locomotive, but it is difficult to be critical of anyone being cautious in these circumstances.
Doncaster TMD.
Repairs - collector drum cleaned out and lagging examined, cause not determined.
23 - 1S32 12:00 King's Cross - Aberdeen, to Peterborough (19 minute delay Peterborough - 1511 forward).
Casualty report states: flashed over when accelerating after shutting off for temporary adverse
signals & exhaust drum lagging smouldering on both engines.
Conclusions: 15.12.71 DME KX states: Both of these defects are all too common on this class of
locomotive. I cannot help feeling though that there was no real need for the driver to fail the
locomotive, but it is difficult to criticise him for being cautious in these circumstances - neither of
these defects were in themselves sufficient to cause a casualty but no doubt occurring together
unduly alarmed the driver.

Finsbury Park TMD.

from No.1 engine exhaust drum and one handful from No.2 collector drum.

assist to Finsbury Park, 9015 forward).
Casualty report states: loss of power - No.2 end regulating air pipe between master controller
operated isolating valve and regulating air pressure control valve fractured at union connection.
Conclusions: 14.01.72 DME KX states: The union connection concerned is of the type where the
copper pipe is belled out at the end and fits over a male ended cone. It is, however, an unusual
failure and I have no recommendation to offer.
