They're always parked up in Ruislip and never seem to do any engineering trains, I think theres a problem with them, I remember reading about it, but I can't exactly remember the issue with them

I've just joined District Dave's so this is my first attempt to ask a question Have all the Schoma loco's been converted to battery? When ever I go to Ruislip there always seems to be 6 Schomas stabled between the two parts of the depot but they are always ones I have seen before Do these 6 ever move? Do the battery loco's stable any where else on the underground?

They rarely get used as they are not powerful enough to deal with heavy engineering trains so when they are used, they run light. They normally run in pairs coupled together which is why you always see two of them together at ruislip. I have seen them out before, and they do still get maintained.

A couple of Schoma workings both captured on film at Paddington (Suburban) by jason15c. The first video was taken during the weekend of the 12th/13th August during track works at Latimer Road. The second video was taken on the weekend of 4th/5th November during track works at Goldhawk Road.

In the videos I see there are no shoes on the Schomas so I assume they have to be in the depot building to charge up from the o/head leads.

The Schoma locos in those videos were still diesels, so no collector shoes. The converted Schoma locos do have collector shoes but those locos have never been approved for normal service. Seems to be a halted project.

Schoma locos are all stopped and are none runners all out of service they only did half to battery locos but are no good project STOPPED and the video is last year. Was going to use them to tow the AIT for scrap but can not have them out of ticket as well no maintenance as well.

2x Schoma locos and wagons giving problems at Earl's Court earlier, after coming out of the Wimbledon branch possession, tried to reverse via Earl's Court yard but rear loco failed.

The four remaining original Schomas are operational but were restricted to depots recently as they have not been through an overhaul cycle. If they have been out that would suggest two have received sufficient attention to relax the restriction. Probably locos 2 and 3 as they don't have the full cab end Wedgelock coupling modification.
The battery conversions are all stopped, I understand EMC issues prevented their use and the existing Battery Loco fleet are sufficient for the projected work until they are scheduled for replacement.
Regards,
Dan

Regards, Dan I wonder how much has been spent on this project and why has it not been looked into for EMC issues before so many have been converted ?

I have heard that they struggle sometimes, not having enough locos for the work they have planned. Also, I heard the locos have started having issues with cab gauging?

Transplant must be very short of serviceable locos - great effort used to be made to avoid having fewer than 4 schomas on a train (two on each end).

Are they able to interwork with battery locos or is it strictly one or the other?

Can anyone tell me which Schoma loco's have not been converted? Do the converted ones have a orange strip on the cab side?

1, 3, 9 and 12 are still diesel powered. The converted ones do have a red stripe and Underground roundel on the cab sides.
Regards,
Dan
