    You will find the safety levers, on the back wall of class 31, turn both on and hear alarm.

    I found only 1 lever ! I’ll have another look. Am I right in saying there are no safety devices on NTP ?..

    You also need to apply the two levers in the correct order; cab change first then AWS unisolate

    Really? I have done it in the reverse and have had no issues.

    I will say that is sometimes difficult trying to find the AWS and the DSD/DVD switches when I encounter a new locomotive. But taking the time to explore and get familiar with new loco pays off in the end.

    Maybe you’re right and I got it the wrong way round!

    I just tested each way and they both work. Isn't technology grand?

    IIRC, NTP has AWS but not TPWS (not installed back then). The valves are hard to find on the Class 45, buried beside the driver's seat.

    I don't at the moment recall if the DVD is present, although it should be, because on that hilly route I never go a full minute without adjusting throttle or brake!
