P.Ref Haymarket TMD. 'A' exam. 1E43 19:45 Aberdeen - King's Cross, from Edinburgh to Doncaster (10 minute delay Doncaster - 1508 forward 17/06). Casualty report states: boiler failure - Niphon socket to Mowbray float switch defective (wire disconnected inn socket). 80,000 miles since last classified repair (25.11.72). Conclusions: 03.07.73 DME KX states: This is a rather unsatisfactory piece of equipment and failures associated with the Niphon plug assembly are a relatively frequent cause of casualties - apart from replacement by a more robust form of connection there is nothing that I can suggest to overcome these failures. |
