Always fascinated by these electro pneumatic traction controls. The class 302,310,312 25Kv had very loud camshaft controls - these are very quiet in comparison. What are those rectangular horn looking things for and which is the one that makes a large “clonk” when power is switched off whilst under load?
The large clonk would be the line breakers. Not totally sure what you’re referring to as the “horn looking things” unless you mean the arc horns on the contactors which break the current when under load.
@@trevormstone thanks, yes I mean the rectangular slot looking things. What do these do? And which one is the line breaker, is it the large square hole on the far left
Very nice Trevor similar to switch gear on old milkfloats
I wish they'd bring these trains back in to main line service there better than the sardine cans we travel in today
