Class 377 "Electrostar"
 |
A sign, or at least notice, of the times! A software/database warning
notice seen in the cab window of 377402 warning operators that this unit
is not to be coupled to a unit without selective door opening, nor to a
unit with the A3 database nor any unit with software version lower than
SP17.1... And you thought life was difficult when unit coupling
restrictions were limited to the type of coupler, brakes and traction
index! Seen whilst at Clapham Junction on 19th April 2005.

Underframe detail on MSO 77160, you can just about see the
recess in the roof of the TSO behind, where the pantograph is fitted to 25kv
units.

| The coupling and gangway connetions are neat and compact, no
brake hoses or buckeyes to worry about here!
