It's like that high-pitched noise but, it seems to be coming from the speakers or somewhere like that

I was on 6158 today and I found it was making a noise like the fans you would find on the DMs. What's causing this and, why?
Also I found this on 6051 earlier this year.

I wouldn't send them to Eastleigh, they were mangled with a claw, not carefully and sustainably decounstructed as we thought

I saw a photo on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beechwoodphotography/5037469415/) Does anyone know which unit it was, I heard that it was refurbed (in the end), why was it withdrawn in the 80's?
Any suggestions? Thanks

They must have repaired 5197, I saw it while passing Neasden yard and it had a repainted front and it's underside was looking OK.... If anyone can tell me otherwise, please do....

I know this isn't really related but, I noticed that 5118 had rather squeky brakes, could this be as a result of the de-icing gear being decommissioned?

What about? 5173. 27.05.2007 Why is 5132 going first? It doesn't seem all that unreliable, also can you give me an approximate time at which 5130 will go? I like that unit!!!! Thanks....

Thanks for clarifying that for me! Can you please tell us some units which are in bad repair (apart from 5173)? Thanks!

As shown in the thread 5066/5067, the last overhauls are now on the books for the A60/62 Stock. I was just wondering if anyone else knew of other units now going for their last overhauls? This would help me give an indication of which ones will be going first. Thanks

Despite the 1972 MkII being designated for that year, I am led to believe that they were actually built in 1973. So when gone by about 2022 they'll be almost 50!

That'll render it impossible to move! Well, I suppose it makes it easier to get underneath 6172 & 6173.

I expect that the headlights and their brackets have been stolen, destination equip and stuff of the like.

Uncomfortable, unreliable, poorly built, synonymous with crashes involving falling motors, rubbish doors. Okay, I may have been a bit mean but, I'm a traditionalist.

I only travelled on 5235 on the 28th May. A requiem to Heinz 57 No.2 as a passenger going vehicle. I will say the driver was going so hard on the brakes, they started to smoke. No matter 5173's are spare.
