water temperature
.
158,160 miles since last classified repair (14.12.73)
.
Conclusions: 27.11.74 DME KX states: This locomotive was subsequently checked in traffic with
the thermostat bypass valve reverted to its normal position but it could not be faulted
. I can only
assume therefore that the shut down was due to loss of coolant rather than high water temperature
& it would have been interesting to know whether the driver made any attempt to use the emergency
hand pump
. I also note that the locomotive received an 'A' examination at Haymarket immediately
prior to working this train
. I am therefore sending a copy of this casualty report to the Depot
Manager, Haymarket, who may wish to take up with the staff concerned
.
Gateshead TMD.
Repairs - hose clip tightened, header tank filled, bypass thermostat set to emergency & repair book
endorsed accordingly for home depot attention

Casualty report states: loss of air pressure - No.2 end air pipe to brake application unit fractured
.
158,250 miles since last classified repair (14.12.73)
.
Conclusions: 10.12.74 DME KX states: I understand that Main Works are re-positioning this
particular pipe as locomotives pass through shops, so as to place it in a less vulnerable position - this
locomotive had not yet received that attention
.
Finsbury Park TMD.
Repairs - air pipe substituted with one from 55022 (defective pipe repaired and fitted to 55022)
.
5 - 1L33 17:05 King's Cross - Harrogate, "The Yorkshire Pullman" to Leeds (22 minute delay between Hitchin & Stoke).
Casualty report states: No.2 engine shut down - No.2 fan shaft uncoupled due to bolts missing (loco
through to Leeds on one engine only)
.
158,250 miles since last classified repair (14.12.73)
.
Conclusions: 05.12.74 DME KX States: These bolts are checked at '' examinations
. At the time of the
casualty the locomotive was due, but not overdue examination
. The fitter responsible for the previous
examination has therefore had this casualty brought to his attention but formal disciplinary action is
not considered to be warranted
. Temporary bolts fitted at Holbeck Depot were later replaced at
Finsbury Park
.
Holbeck TMD.
Repairs - temporary bolts fitted in primary shaft drive coupling (for home depot attention)

.
Conclusions: 05.12.74 DME KX states: This locomotive was used later to re-engine the 20:40
KX-Edinburgh from Doncaster but became a casualty at Newcastle with No.1 engine defective
.
Reported as B2 conrod fractured, it would be interesting to know what was found on No.1 engine
strip down, and whether it is thought that there may have been a defect which could have any
bearing on this first casualty
.

Repairs - No.1 engine coolant system topped up and checked for air leaks, non found, locomotive
returned to traffic
