I like a lot, please keep scanning and posting.

 

One question, what the hell is going on with the radiator grilles on 31181?

I have never seen anything like it.

 

The 31s had a problem with cooling, and some had the radiator altered, removing the dividing bar half way across, and a raised cowling on the roof to suck the air out by forming a low pressure as the train was moving.

 

PS-More photos. Blue is a much missed colour.

I know that, some also had the side grille slats changed from horizontal to vertical but the ones as pictured on the side of 181 are just plain wrong, it was modified sometime between August 81 and 1985 but the grilles only stick out on the B side, the radiator grilles on the A side were modified to vertical but they are flush with the bodyside, as they are on every other modified 31 I have seen pictures of.
