Details: This close-up of the three mobile generator vehicles parked in their usual slot at Lillie Bridge depot was taken from the LUL Ashfield House towerblock on 23rd January 2008. It has been included as it shows the open chassis of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter trucks, and also the trailers they are habitually coupled to. To the right is 6159F, one of several Ford Transit dropside trucks to have gained a light-bar.

Thomas YoungIt would appear that these vehicles should probably be reclassified as demountables. The generators certainly have lifting lugs at each corner, and the cabs carry the wider mirrors typical of such vehicles. It would also appear that the generator on 2584M (centre) is assigned the fleetnumber DB19, being new in 1993 in red and mounted on 2541M. The other two generators were new in spring 1990 (before the DB number series started), also in red, and were carried by 2478M and 2480M.Sun 08/03/09, 15:12
