  Unusual to see yellow sides and black ends! These two units will work between two locos.

  I think the black ends are to absolutly positivly ensure that these "Ex" driving vehicals, are no longer confused as such vehicles

  does this vehicle still have its traction equipment as it still carries its shoe beams

  When originally converted to Driving vehicles for the GATEX, the traction equipment was removed, the shoe beams were kept as supply for on-board facilities and, I think, also supply if the loco became 'gapped'.

  The GLVs did retain their traction motors to increase the acceleration and provide extra power. On the final loco-hauled Gat-Ex, the GLV was used under-power for at least one part of the journey.

  Currently being overhauled at Eastleigh and will look quite different when they return.
