92003 Dollands Moor to Wembley 6B20 (6B41) Danone bottled mineral water (Evian, Badoit, Volvic) from France
92003 "Beethoven" in British Rail two-tone grey with EWS Red & Yellow logo and three 'O' shaped channel tunnel logo hauls 31 Cargowaggon bogie vans from Dollands Moor Sidings to Wembley European Freight Operating Centre on 19 February 2014. 92003 is famed for being the last British Rail train to ever run, just as this one traveling from Dollands Moor to Wembley at 23:15 on 21 November 1997. 92003 was last photographed here by me on 9 December 2013 double-heading a similar train (www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/11287032613/in/photoli...). Details on the aluminium works plate were engraved by J M Ranger Limited of Leicester.
92003 was assembled by the BRUSH Traction Company Loughborough, from sub-contracted components e.g. Procor UK bodyshell, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Rail) traction converters and GTO (Gate Turn-Off thyristor) controlled via the MICAS-S2 electronics system, retractable third rail collector shoes and pantographs made by Brecknell Willis, the engraved aluminium BRUSH traction works plates made by J M Ranger Limited of Leicester and cast aluminium based alloy Crew Depot plaque produced by David Newton of Nottingham. For track to train communications class 92s were fitted with the Siemens International Train Radio (ITR) "chameleon" system which could automatically change over to match local ground systems e.g. at international boarders and allowed the driver to select from a range of language settings. STS Signals Ltd supplied electronic Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) control units for class 92s as an add on to the Automatic Warning System (AWS) equipment. STS Signals Ltd also developed a twin-lightweight AWS receiver for use on class 92s so that only one receiver was needed to detect both standard strength magnets on lines powered by AC overhead wires (Rx1) as well as the extra strength magnets used on DC third rail lines (Rx2). All non-metallic components of the class 92 were either certified for Eurotunnels fire regulations by the manufacturers or where suppliers could not provide this information products such as the divers seat (made by Chapman Seating Limited) and plastic push buttons these were fire tested by BRUSH.
