37/4s & DRS DBSO

[GrimShady]

Have the DRS 37/4s been modified with some sort of TDM system for working with the DBSOs.

Could someone explain how this works?

Cheers!

Does anybody know how many DBSO's have been brought back into use by them too?

Wiki looks wrong.

37/4s don't have TDM; the DBSOs have been modified to work with the blue star system on the 37s.

Thanks. Do DRS actually use all 5? I thought they only actually needed 2.

Surprised nobody wants the remaining stored one.

Cheers for the info!

That would mean that the coaches are through wired?

Yes, the coaches are through wired and piped. The Blue Star system uses air control as well as electric. I think the DBSOs basically have a 37 cab grafted in.

There are a few errors in that thread, though none are really relevant to the question asked by the OP exactly.

Thanks for the responses all!
