I would assume the MK rebuilt CL's had "Maxitrax" fitted to them. On the Rio
Grande we called it "Maxitrash" There was one particular module that always
froze after a wheelslip. After resetting it it was fine but as I recall
Australian railways lock modules away from non maintenence crew's hands so
it was probably impossib;e for a crew to reset it on a CLP/F
