the trains was an operator who neglected to top off the oil
reservoir, if the train went dry they would literally screech to a
halt. It was always interesting when someone put a carriage control
tape on backwards or didn't lower the brushes, the first skip would
empty the box and the paper would be all packed up under the cover.
The CE's nightmare for the 512 was a ribbon that started to disintegrate
and become lodged in the train. As I've witnessed, it involves a
container of solvent and a brush and completely disassembly of the
train, scrubbing each type slug carefully, the putting the whole mess
back together. Can you say "dirty filthy frustrating work?"
