Electrification Flashes

When the West Coast route to Scotland was electrified locomotives likely to working in areas fitted with overhead catenary had 'Danger Overhead Live Wire' notices fitted. This was to warn crews/shed staff as they climbed onto the running plate to carry out maintenance.

The Duchesses usually had three, one on (or near) the smoke deflector, one at the rear of the firebox and one near the top feed – above the handrail . However ALL the pictures taken of Duchess of Montrose at this time (1961) show that it did not have the notice by the top feed.

This goes to prove the you should always check things against contemporary photographs!
