The vehicles continued to arrive in dribs and drabs on into the winter of Feb 1995. Some of the winter unloads were accompanied by vast amounts of ether being used to try to get them going in the cold with very cold batteries.
Knowing what I knew then I was horrified and today if one of my employees started a vehicle that way he would be fired in a heart beat. The start ups were violent and I am convinced not a good proceedure.
Anyway, here are 99141 99127 99050 and second shot is 99127 which although has an open cargo body on it was to receive a SEV unit at DEW.
By the time 99911 and 99912 were snapped in July 1995 it was a bit wrmer but starting problems still were common.
Even though some were still arriving some already issued vehicles were in service and again passing through Walkley Rail yard again on a train but in service seen here towing the old 5/4 ton trailer 44133. Note how the old trailer wheels would be a problem now if a flat developed as the towing vehicle doesnt have the same wheel and tyre pattern.
