In what way?

Here are the photos of it tried to brighten them up to see the numbers but camera was too out of focus though you can see the modifications to the undercarriage. Sorry
Looks very full down there - let's hope it has adequate ventilation...
Supposedly what all the delays been about.
I’m not surprised it’s by the carriage wash. They’ll need to get all those flies off the front from all the mainline testing it has been doing since it returned.I don’t know when it arrived but when I went past this morning it was outside by the wash,
Not all of them, surely?
I can't believe that's what all the delay is about. There surely has to be some other technical defect that's been being worked on behind the scenes for all of the people working on this project to have achieved essentially nothing in 9 months.Has that 769 got it's hacked exhaust stacks (pipes)? Supposedly what all the delays been about.
This was mentioned a while back - is it still a problem?One problem I've heard rumoured particularly with the 2 tfw examples at Canton is getting the 2 gensets to talk to each other

Oh and i thought they were supposed to be great wizzing up and down the Great Central Railway!!
Not one turned a wheel on the mainline. Under it's own power that is.
There quite good with a loco on the front. Could we just run them like that.

I've got a better idea! Why not get some Class 442s, stick a Class 68 on one end and use those instead! Flawless idea!This man's got the answer! Attach a Class 37 to a 319 and it's bi-mode!

You've got to include a Deltic somehow for it to be perfect.I've got a better idea! Why not get some Class 442s, stick a Class 68 on one end and use those instead! Flawless idea!

Lol.
It only needs a single Class 20, and quite a few available again.
When driving from the 319 just isolate and shutdown the loco. Easy!
Testing is planned to complete this month.any news from our dear friends at the Northern Railway Company on this subject?
In fairness, many on here have raised very valid concerns with this project for a few years. Problems with existing cabling and ventilation for the engines have been raised. Retrofitting is often harder than simply starting from scratch.This man's got the answer! Attach a Class 37 to a 319 and it's bi-mode!

Why Porterbrook did not convert one 319 as a prototype and test it properly - rather than just assuming it would work and converting a raft of them is beyond me. Can't see the wood for the trees.
