Evening all,
From my understanding, the 40 class could only MU within their own class
members and not with any other class (although I also understand that a special
series of tests were conducted with a 40 class and a 43 class in MU using a
specially made-up MU connection cable). The 43 class could MU (and
certainly did) with the majority of other NSWGR locos.
By the way Roger, could you advise which way the 43+49 combo were
facing. Were they back-to-back or elephant style?
Regards,
Mark

Roger,
would the
43 have been MU compatible with the 49 or did it have a second crew? I seem to
recall that the 40 and 43s had manual transition and were not able to be MUed
with other classes unless they had another crew in the second unit.
Cheers
Bob

Mark's record of Black Thursday 1969 sent me scrambling for my old
running
books as I also recall seeing 4912 on the Short North around
this period.
On Friday 9 May 1969 I travelled to Fassifern on 19 North Paper Train
behind
3813. An interesting sequence of Down trains followed in the
pre-dawn
hours:- 3654 + 6009 on 413 Express Goods, 4305 on 661 Goods and
4304 + 4912
on 635 Goods.
This was 4912's load trial after overhaul at Cardiff Workshops and one of
the few occasions a 49 and 43 would have worked together.
