RMweb Gold TravisM Posted February 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2019 Not been on here for awhile but I was asked by a friend if the former Met electric loco’s could work in multiple or did they have to be dual crewed? I used to remember these things but I’m getting old lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Don't think that they could run in multiple, I don't think that there isa control socket to allow it . I doubt that there was anything so heavily loaded on the Met that would need double heading anyway. I do recall that if there was a need to shift two at once, then the trailing loco was 'dead' although it may have been crewed. John 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.snowdon Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Given the absence of any visible sockets for the control jumpers, the answer would be no. Plus, they were of sufficient power to handle anything that the Met wanted of them without resorting to double heading. Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bécasse Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I rather suspect that two working together on full power might have tripped the circuit breakers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
