NYMR Diesel Gala 2011: Class 73/1 73136 PERSEVERANCE and the DMU waiting to depart from Levisham Station to Pickering Station.

 

NYMR Diesel Gala 2011

A Class 73 locomotive at the NYMR Diesel Gala 2011: Class 73/1 73136 (73 136, E6043, E 6043) was built by English Electric in 1966 ‘Perseverance’is a type or Class 73 and is unusual in that it can operate from a 750 V DC third-rail or an on-board diesel engine to allow it to operate on non-electrified routes.

The Barrow Hill Roundhouse: English Electric Bo-Bo Class 73/1 Electro-diesel 73134 (73 134, E6041, E 6041) named "WOKING HOMES 1885-1995" built at the Vulcan Foundry in 1966.

 

A pair of Network Rail Class 73 electro-diesels (Class 73/9 locomotives 73951 and 73952) turned up at Crewe on a test run from Derby (18/01/17)

Class 73/9 have been re-engined and now have double the diesel power (two Cummins diesel engines, giving a total of 1500 hp) and referred to as Ultra 73 specification, and all the original mechanical and electrical components were removed and the locomotives refurbished in various ways, I assume that they are still electro-diesels! Class 73/9 73951 was originally E6010 and then 73104.

Class 73 73210 (73 210, ex E6026, 73961 "Alison", 73901, 73209), built at the English Electric Vulcan Foundry Works in 1966, Wirksworth station yard, Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (April 2018). They are hoping to use this for short carriage trains e.g. four coaches, with its smaller diesel engine this Class 73 'diesel' locomotive will be less costly to run than the Class 31 and Class 33 locomotives at Wirksworth. The shoes for accessing a 750 V dc supply have been removed. I don't know if the electric motor is still intact in situ?
