Class 73 rebuilds.
 

I came across this article about the GBRF class 73 Electro diesel rebuilds.

I thought they were now diesel only, but it seems not.

The 73s seem to be a really useful loco & the rebuilds will give them more versatility. I've only seen one 73/9 so far (73961), and that was part of a 4 loco convoy of light engines, so not working hard at all.

Thanks for the link, Philip. A most interesting read.

Thank you, pre65, for posting - one of the most interesting links I have seen for some time.

Yes, I forgot to put in my previous post how interesting the article was! Thanks for posting the link Philip.
