Hi 48111

Like you say all tappers have gone and hot boxes are a thing of the past all roller bearings today the wagons get checked on a regular basis.

I think you will find it is down to the shunter to do a basic check on trains before the start of a journey.

They still use hot box detectors but not for hot boxes more for hot running brakes.
