1 - Haymarket TMD.
1E01 08:00 Edinburgh - King's Cross, to Newcastle (4 minute delay Belford, 3 minutes at Chevington and 8 minutes at
Newcastle - 47422 forward).
Casualty report states: No.1 engine cutting out & No.2 engine overspeed tripping - dirt compressed in
the holding portion of the Martinair cylinder preventing the roller from dropping to its lowest point
thereby permitting the piston to operate under vibration.
77,000 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 21.02.74 DME KX states: I note the attention given at Gateshead Depot but would draw
attention to the fact that the locomotive became a casualty again three days later due to No.2 engine
overspeed trip operating. It was then found that the engine maximum rpm was too high & I am inclined
to think that this was the cause of both casualties.
Gateshead TMD.
Repairs - Martinair unit cleaned and refitted - engine run and tested satisfactorily.

Haymarket TMD.
4 - Haymarket TMD.
1E17 10:40 Aberdeen - King's Cross, "The Aberdonian" to Doncaster (12 minute delay Doncaster - 1546 forward).
Casualty report states: No.2 engine not running due to overspeed tripping - engine governor out of
adjustment resulting in engine maximum rpm being higher than designed and therefore increasing
the tendency for the overspeed governor to operate.
78,300 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 01.03.74 DME KX states: Please see also previous casualty for this locomotive on
01.02.74, I am unable to state how the governor came to be out of adjustment, but a check on the
locomotive's repair book reveals an entry on 21.01.74 of a union nut in the regulating air pipe being
found loose. I can only suggest that prior to this someone may have tried to overcome the loss of
regulating air pressure by unauthorised adjustment to the governor - although there is no direct
evidence to support this suggestion.
Doncaster TMD.
Repairs - engine governor adjusted and locomotive subsequently checked in traffic by Technical Staff.

(1N06 07:45 King's Cross - Newcastle).
1A27 14:10 Newcastle - King's Cross (10  minute delay Grantham).
Casualty report states: No.2 engine shut down between Doncaster & Grantham - Driver pumped
up coolant from overflow tank at Grantham, restarted engine and proceeded to King's Cross
without further trouble.
86,210 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 05.04.74 DME KX states: This locomotive subsequently gave further trouble with
very occasional reports of No.2 engine shutting down. When checked in traffic with an ambient
temperature of 50°F-60°F it was found that the water temperature for this engine was rising to
over 190°F. The radiators were removed from the engine and cleaned externally by high water
pressure jet and flushed through internally with a hose at Depot, but this effected little improvement.
The radiators are now (04.04.74) being replaced by a serviced set obtained from Doncaster Works.
The radiators removed are being forwarded for inspection under 'Red Label' procedure.
King's Cross Loco.
Repairs - no fault found (subsequently accompanied in traffic by Technical staff and still unable to fault).
1S66 20:20 King's Cross - Edinburgh.
27 - Haymarket TMD.
1E01 08:00 Edinburgh - King's Cross, to Newcastle (10 minute delay Newcastle - 47413 forward).
Casualty report states: Defective speedometer - broken wire in wheel wear compensator.
86,610 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 19.03.74 DME KX states: speedometer wheel wear compensators of class 55
locomotives are still troublesome components from time to time. Wire fractures would appear to
be caused by the conditions under which they operate, that is, vibration resulting from them being
mounted on the bogies and copper corrosion due to ingress of rain water. I would suggest that the
only satisfactory long term solution is to reposition them inside the locomotive body.
Gateshead TMD.
Repairs - speedometer wire resoldered.
28 - Gateshead TMD.
Casualty report dated 05.03.74 states loco off 'C' exam.

100,000 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 01.04.74 DME Newcastle states: My maintenance controller was not advised of the
trouble until 01:40, i.e. 38 minutes after departure time. A replacement locomotive was ordered from
Gateshead which accounted for the remaining 32 minutes of the idle start. a drivers report may
assist in concluding the report.

Casualty report states: defective boiler - photo electric cell out of position (hanging loose).
110,000 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusion: 08.05.74 DME KX states: It is apparent that the photo electric cell was in position prior
to the failure and it would appear that the Secondman had inadvertently caught the cable and pulled
it out when possibly blowing down. I would appear the boiler was not tested on the 'A' exam at
Haymarket 13/04, therefore last boiler test done on 'LD 125' exam at King's Cross 13/04 09:30 hrs - records
at Finsbury Park checked, no further attention given to loco until 'C' exam at Gateshead 20/04.

Casualty report states: Speedometer not reading - open circuit in wheel wear compensator.
142,000 miles since last classified repair (21.08.73).
Conclusions: 16.07.74 DME KX states: failures of these wheel wear compensator resistors
do occur from time to time. I have previously suggested on many occasions that they should
be recited within the locomotive to remove them from the vibration and possible ingress of
water to which they are subjected in their present position on the bogie. I also understand
that a different design of wheel wear compensator was introduced as a replacement some
two years ago, but presumably unless the DME Doncaster had forwarded the defective
component for inspection under 'Red Label' procedure it will not be known which type this was.
Doncaster TMD.
Repairs - new resistance fitted in wheel wear compensator and set to correspond with wheel
diameter, speedometers tested.

Casualty report states: No.2 end speedometer not registering above 40mph - wheel wear compensator defective.
4,000 miles since last classified repair (10.09.74) possibly concurs with report date 16/09.
Conclusions: 10.10.74 DME KX states: The defective component has been forwarded for inspection
under 'Red Label' procedure on advice note No.DR201, and sent in stores van No.DB756631, despatched
on 16.03.74. In view of the fact that speedometer defects are still an all too frequent cause of casualties
on this class of locomotive I await the Inspector's report with interest. I would also draw attention to the
fact that this locomotive had been released from Classified Repair only three days prior to the casualty.

Casualty report states: Temporarily unable to obtain power - eventually regained and locomotive
able to work through to Edinburgh.
14,810 miles since last classified repair (10.09.74).
Conclusions: 25.10.74 DME KX states: Since the fitting of ETH equipment to these locomotives the
main generator field contactors have been subject to more arduous service and it is now the local
practice in this Division for them to be inspected at 'C' examinations. I this particular instance,
however, the previous examination would have been during Classified Repair some three weeks earlier.
