Both consists left Ruislip depot on time this morning - No.1 absent, of course  What's happened to Met No 1 then ? It failed at Amersham yesterday. Apparently some form of bearing failure. |

Met 1 failed with a big end bearing gone, according to the FLTM stand at Amersham. Shame, but at leats it didn't happen for the runs in
Jan.
Very nice afternoon on the Final 20-hauled run by to Harrow. Well done to all the organisers, slick operation.
Hope this proves that they can run Steam Harrow-Amersham, and it happens again in future years. Would be nice to see the 4-VEP used in future as a second coach set.

For the original Steam on the Met there was some sort of interface box that allowed the vacuum braked steam locomotive to operate with the air braked LU stock. Now that Sarah Siddons has had vacuum brakes refitted it acts as the interface between the two different brake systems. During the last two of the original 'Steam on the Met' series the steam locomotives were simply equipped with air brake valves on a pedestal in the cab, air pressure being supplied by either 'Sarah' or the class 20. I imagine it was the same for all the others. |
