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.
