Trust Damien to the last one holding out.....158821 has now received TfW livery and PRM mods, meaning that 158820 and 158833 are the last two non-PRM holdouts!

170273Tyseley LMD- Canton this afternoon. Presuming it' a 170/(S)?
Unless I'm mistaken, 153333 is the only unit in TfW livery that is not PRM-compliant. If so, now that 333 is at Long Marston TfW can truefully claim any train in service with TfW livery is compliant.153333 has been sent to Long Marston

It's the AAR push-pull systems that need changing - the Mk4 system is, I believe, different to the Mk3 system. In fact, I believe it's the systems on the Mk4 that need changing to AAR more than the 67s, similar to how the Mk3 DVTs were renumbered as 82/3s for 67 operation.Bit of a stupid question but what needs modifying on the 67 to make it compatible? Well i believe that MK4's have buckeye couplers? Only time can tell what has been changed.
The 67s require traction/brake interlock mods to work with the Mark 4s.It's the AAR push-pull systems that need changing - the Mk4 system is, I believe, different to the Mk3 system.

Ahh. Thanks for clearing that up!The 67s require traction/brake interlock mods to work with the Mark 4s.

It was indeed the only unit put into TfW livery that didn't also get PRM mods. Still had a mishmash interior of FirstGroup Dynamic Lines seat moquette, London Midland green seat handles, and chrome grab rails by the doors etc but it will come out the same as 153325 and 153323Unless I'm mistaken, 153333 is the only unit in TfW livery that is not PRM-compliant.

ThanksDidn’t get a picture but can confirm 150283 is A PRM unit
Thanks
Indeed!told ya didn’t I! Haha
Not sure if anyone has seen it yet but i was shown a phot of the MK4 DVT that has been reliveried into TfW passing through and unknown station. The phot is floating around somewhere.
If anyone could direct me to that photo it’d be much appreciated.
View attachment 70308 Here's a pic, from someone on Discord
I'm not sure if that matches the description of:Post #238 from the LNER MK4 coaches for TFW thread:
I assumed Jacob Didcote was describing a different picture (as that one's definitely at a depot, not a station).a phot of the MK4 DVT that has been reliveried into TfW passing through and unknown station.
If anyone could direct me to that photo it’d be much appreciated.
It's not the best quality photo. Passing at night with little light and most likely a slow shutter. The photographer is unknown
Ah right, thanks. Sounds like a still from the video I’ve seen.
It's a DVT, it won't be hauling anything.Seems to be hauling some Mk4'sView attachment 70584
