| Nº4732 now resides far away from third rail territory at
the Coventry Railway Centre. Its condition, seen here on 18th August 2002, is
not as presentable as when it was a celebrity unit with British Rail.

A powered bogie with pickup beam on Nº4732. In this picture
the normal shoe lead arrangement is shown with the lead coming from the left
hand side of the shoe fuse box and connected to the PNS4 shoe. In pictures 1
and 2 above the shoe lead has been entered into the right hand side of the shoe
fuse box. This was the normal procedure, to prevent the shoe lead
"flapping around", when shoegear was removed for despatch over
non-electrified lines.
