The rocket science here is the bottom line. Apparently no-one other than 
the bean counters understand it. I assume that in bean-counter language, 
it's more expensive to pay one person (the pit man, sorry, pit person [PC]) 
for example $40,000 per year, than it is to spend many hundreds of 
thousands up front in modifying brake systems to do what they could do 
before. 

That said, I saw a very quick glimpse of what looked like brand new 
(or heavily modified) bogies sitting next to and under one W at Preston 
Workshops about a month and a half ago. [Being in a car, it's a bit hard to 
take too much notice].
