OK all, looks like I got you beat so I’ll give the answers...
It’s a North Eastern class EE1 steeple cab loco. It runs using a 1500 V DC overhead electric system. These bits were answered by Patric and could have been by Jon I think.....
The hard bits....
The cab lamps were also rated at 1500 V DC, which could give dangerous shocks when being changed. All early electric locos had this issue as far as I know.....
The crew were therefore supplied with insulated drivers caps so they could safely change the bulbs when required....Paul got close to this without realising
Not sure who goes next, but I would say Paul, simply for inspired guesswork....
Cheers
Tim
