Conclusions: This is a most unusual defect. I would point out that the locomotive had been released from Doncaster Works only two days earlier after No.2 power unit change but I am unable to state whether any relevance to the defect experienced (DME Doncaster). |

Casualty report states: severe oil leak from No.1 end roof compartment - No.1 end lubricating oil cooling radiator leaking (for home depot attention). 110,000 miles since last classified repair (21.09.72). Conclusions: The defective component has been forwarded for inspection under the 'red label' procedure. Examination of radiators is specifically called for under the item 1 (g) of the examination schedule and the last such inspection was earlier in the day at Holbeck, after which the locomotive worked Leeds - King's Cross and was working King's Cross - Edinburgh when it became a failure. There is of course no evidence as to whether the leak was present at this 'A' examination, but the DME Leeds may wish to draw this casualty to the attention of the staff concerned. York TMD. |

Casualty report states: Speedometer defect - tacho generator only registering on 15mph and wheel wear compensator open circuit. 130,000 miles since last classified repair (21.09.72). Conclusions: Speedometer failures continue to be of the more common causes of casualties with this class of locomotive. I understand that a modified design of wheel wear compensator resistor was introduced some time ago and I await the 'red label' inspection report with interest to see whether it was one of this type which failed in this instance (DME Newcastle). Gateshead TMD. Repairs - Tacho generator & wheel wear compensator changed. |

Conclusions (18/06): Please se my correspondence regarding high water temperature switches on class 55 locomotives. Experience of checking HWT switches has shown that most of them are significantly out of adjustment and operate below the designed setting (DME Doncaster) Doncaster TMD. 'A' exam & repairs - no fault found (for attention at home depot). |

Casualty report states: Locomotive ran out of fuel - not refuelled in diagram either at Leeds or King's Cross. Conclusions: Due to late running of the up working into King's Cross (12:30 Leeds - KX) there was insufficient time for refuelling. Also no advice has been received through the control organisation that the locomotive had not been refuelled according to diagram in Leeds. Nevertheless I accept that my control should in the circumstances have specially checked that the locomotive had sufficient fuel to reach Leeds, and I have taken up with the staff concerned accordingly.

Casualty report states: loss of power - Control Circuit Breaker tripped due to one wire off its terminal in the underspeed switch touching the metal work and one wire insulation chafed through on the same switch due to incorrect fitting. 15,000 miles since last classified repair (06.09.73). Conclusions: I am advised by the DME Newcastle that the cable that was off its terminal had an amp tag fitted which had been made into a spade terminal for some reason or other. Please see casualty to locomotive 9018 on 19.09.73 which was also due to defective wiring in an engine underspeed switch. This wiring & connections have always been a potential source of trouble & in view of these two recent casualties I am arranging for a campaign check on all locomotives allocated to this division (DME KX).

| 12 - | Finsbury Park TMD. 'B' exam (Martinair unit changed during exam). 1L34 17:30 King’s Cross - Bradford (18 minute delay King's Cross - 1102 forward). Casualty report states: No.1 engine shut down due to overspeed tripped - Martinair unit defective. Estimated 16,000 miles since last classified repair (06.09.73) 180,000 stated! Conclusions: Please see my letter dated 9th November 1972 regarding grease found in the overspeed governor of locomotive 9001, and its possible effect on the resetting of the pawl. following this latter incident it is understood that Doncaster Works have been greasing these governors by mistake, and a campaign check is now in progress on Finsbury Park allocated locomotives. During the course of this it was found that No.1 engine overspeed governor of locomotive 9007 was heavily greased. I therefore await 'Red Label' inspection report on the Martinair unit with interest, as if no fault is found I would suggest that greasing of the overspeed governor was the cause of this casualty (DME KX). Finsbury Park TMD. Repairs - Martinair unit changed. |
| 13 - | 1N10 11:00 King's Cross - Newcastle (7 minute delay at
Peterborough - 46045 assist forward). Casualty report states: No.2 engine shut down - coolant hose between water pump and exhaust manifold coolant distributor split. Estimated 16,250 milers since last classified repair (06.09.73) 180,250 stated! Conclusions: As this was the first working of this locomotive after 'B' examination at Finsbury Park Depot, I think that it is quite possible that some evidence would have been present at that time of impending failure. This casualty is therefore being drawn to the attention of both the supervisor responsible for finished work and the fitter concerned (DME KX). Gateshead TMD. Repairs. |

Casualty report states: indication of burning on No.1 main generator - armature bandings burnt. 40,000 miles since last classified repair (06.09.73). Conclusion (03.01.74): I note that there have been at least two instances of main generator armature failures on this class of locomotive recently. The other one of which I am aware involved 55002 on 12th December. No doubt the CM&EE will follow up specially with BREL to establish the cause of these failures (DME KX). |
