I agree, but for the final time, Petersham needs this: Security, security!  | |

| Regardless it is still there, it is still going to happen and the fact it gets brought up so much and corresponding posts follow eg "smegging vandals" just adds to it... in other words, dont mention it to start with at all? | |

Better to just grumble quietly to ourselves - the less attention they get the better  |
I agree 100%. | |

The RTM already has one; C3804.
A trailer would be considered duplicate stock as they are of the same basic design. | |

Cars T4801 - T4838 and T4896 - T4920 retained the original multiple unit receptacles placed at underframe level. |
Is that unusual? It's normal for trailers in S sets to have the jumper coupling on both sides at the number 2 end but only on the one side at the number 1 end. |
In the early 1970s the arrangement would have been very unusual It was noted by Geoff Johnson, then Editor of "Railway Transportation", in his article on the 53 original Comeng double deck motor cars So I thought I'd be pro-active and explain it.
The means by which Sputnik motor cars could multiple with C3803 (now T4799), incidentally, is shown in my photo in an article in "Under The Wires" a few years ago. | |
