Then a 67 can couple up to them.

well yeah, cos 67s are used on tours of course

But HST mk3 stock wouldnt be used on tours due to the lack of buffers, and the difference in electrics.

Stobart used Mk3 stock from DRS to operate tours.

[Richard Armstrong]

Surely this was loco-hauled Mk3 stock though?

[class 313]

The Stobart Mk3s are LHCS yes. But why would the electrics be different Darandio

[laseandre]

Because HST Mk 3s are 3 phase and LHCS Mk 3s are 1 phase or vice versa.

Hmmm This is just for the ETH(ETS)? I'm sure a 90 has hooked up to both types of Mk3...

[laseandre]

Yup, think so.

I confess that I dont have a great deal of knowledge on it but I can recall that modifications had to be made to the GC coaching stock regarding the electrics.

well the NMT runs with mk2s, so they can be used with class 43s

No it doesn't the NMT being the HST runs with all mk 3s.

It used to run with some mk2s in the consist but is now fully mk3

[rail-britain]

If a Class 67 couples directly to a Mark 3 coach on the HST, then it will not be coupled up to the electrics, the fittings alone are different

A Class 90 or 91 may be able to, providing it has retained the buckeye coupling (which I believe the Class 90 no longer have)

The DRS stock is Mark 3a or Mark 3b so any loco coupled up will be able to provide electric, except a Class 43 loco or any without ETS

The NMT had its own electric power supply, hence why the Mark 2 coaches could be used
I am not sure if the same still applies

Are you sure? Do you not mean the OMT?

National Express East Anglia 90s still retain buckeyes.
