Class 375 "Electrostar"
 |
| As mentioned below, Southern 375s requires a designation change
to class 377 upon conversion of couplings from Tightlock Dellner. Here is
375332 at East Croydon before it was given Tightlock couplings and renumbered
377332.

| It is not usual for a rail enthusiast to be able to get a
head on shot from the middle of the track, but Railfest 2004 provided a useful
opportunity!

| 375/8 and 375/9 units are delivered with Dellner couplers, as
seen here, from new whilst SET 375/3 375/6 and 376/7 units were delivered with
Tightlock types but are to be converted to Dellners. Such a conversion on South
Central/Southern 375s requires a designation change to class 377 yet curiously
all SET Electrostar are to remain 375s!

Straight "out of the box" - it is not often you see
the gear this clean in everyday use - a shoebox fuse on 375926.

casting numbers clearly!
