Capt Deltic's traction and rolling stock round-up.

The article presents an update on traction and rolling train stocks. In the derailment of Pendolino No 390.033 at Grayrigg, England, four coaches and four vehicle-sets of bogies were written off. However, damage to the other vehicles can be repaired by cutting out the affected areas and welding in new sections of extrusion. Replacement and repair are linked to the proposed lengthening of the Pendolino fleet from 9 to 11 cars each.
