How many units of 1960-stock remain?
I already know of the Cravens unit and the TRC.
And im talking about not preserved vehicles. I remember seeing a picture of some units abandoned in a forest somewere.
Anybody know anything more about that?

There are 4 cars remaining. 2 driving motors form part of the CH set and the other two are part of the track recording train.

Doesn't the Cravens Heritage unit hibernate in either Ruislip or Hainault depot?

CHTs 1960 Stock unit is currently at Northfields. Apart from the Track Recording Train's two Cravens motor cars, no others remain on LU. The cab of one (3911) is at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton Road.

Sorry, was thinking of 2001 instead of 2006. Was in an UN edition. Its a pity that all the spare 1938 trailers have now gone.

Could lines like the Bakerloo and Northern have benefited from mass production of the 60s in order to displace 38s later on? I ask this knowing that the Central decided to go with 62s that were an extension of the 59s.

...Its a pity that all the spare 1938 trailers have now gone. Yeah. Even the spare shell at IOW... I dont want to change the subject but how many 1938-trailers did IOW have? |

Possibly, but then again the 60ts design was about a decade too early to be a replacement for the 38ts; or rather by the time the future of the 38ts was being questioned things had moved on. In much the same way that the 62ts design was chosen because of urgency and the fact it had already been used and experienced the 67ts design was repeated for the 72ts.
It would be interesting to speculate on whether the 1960ts would still be running today if it had become the main fleet of the Central, albeit with matching trailers built at some point.

No trailers went to the IOW. I believe that some were bought by NSE as part of the units the DMs came from but they were further sold for scrap. Were the two shells you reffer to in St. Johns car park? Managed to take a close look at them several years ago. They were both DMs; still had LT numbering and writing on the inside of the cabs. Even had the last overhaul date stenciled onto the front!

Oooooooh, those were DMs taken out of service surplus to requirements and scrapped in 2006, and there would have been a 4th one out of shot of that picture.

Ok. Now we have that cleared up. There were no 38-stock trailers at IOW.
I got that from a website, which name i cant remember. I have a bad memory but i think it said something like "...a DM and a T are seen here at Ryde St. Johns Road after being taken out of service."

What was the relationship between the 1960 and 1967 stocks? I've always thought (without much knowledge) that the 1967 stock was very much a developed "production" version of the 1960 stock. Had the 1960 stock project been persevered with for the Central 'standard' stock replacement (rather than adoption of the 1962 stock), would the production trains been 1960 stock (as built), or a somewhat developed '1963' (?) stock. I certainly feel there would have been second thoughts over reusing >30 year old trailers... |

Just to clear it up, the IOW was going to use 2 car (DM-DM) and 3 car (DM-T-DM) as separate trains and run 5 cars in the 'peaks'! 3 car trains would have meant that the depot would need extension, so 2 car units were decided upon.

Hi As far as i know the 1960 ts is at Northfields, is the stock likely to be taken out on a trip/tour by the museum in the forth coming years. ?

In reply to ' bones ', the Craven Unit at Northfields is shortly to have braking components re-fitted after their return from overhaul. I believe it is certainly the intention of Cravens Heritage Trains to return the Craven Unit to the Network to run further railtours again once properly certificated, hopefully in the near future.

The 1967 stock was really a cross between the 1952 stock (never built) and the 1960 stock. It used all the experienced gained over the past ten years to build it.
I expect proper 1960 trailers would have been built at some stage when the project got the go ahead, and no they wouldn't be in service still - no way!
Did the 1960s cars have compressors when built?

As far as I can remember the 1960 DMs never had compressors, only the (converted) trailers.

So does the TRT 1973 trailer have two compressors then?
I imagine, the single 1938 trailer later added to the Woodford sets was one of the Northern Line trailers that came with 2 compressors?
