REVEL Ultra 73. A rebuilt ‘73’ constructed by RVEL for Network Rail, the locomotive is substantially re-engineered, with a modern cab layout and overall design. Powered by two Cummins diesel generators electronically controlled power conversion equipment, and an all new electro-pneumatic braking system. The locomotives external appearance differs substantially from the original class 73's
73/9 Rebuilt for GBRf, five ‘class 73 were re-engined as Class 73/9. Built to modern standards the 73/9 is cleaner, quieter and more fuel efficient. It also meets modern NR requirements for electromagnetic and signalling compatibility throughout the network.
Rebuilt by Brush Traction Wabtec, numbers 73961-3 (Ex.73209, 73204 and 73206) have been re-fitted fitted with MTU 1,600 hp V8 engines. and a complete re-fit carried out. Externally similar, with new light clusters and repositioned jumper cables. The cab layout has been changed, but keeps the duel control feature. Able to interwork with existing Class 73/1 and 73/2 units in either diesel or electric mode they offer the same power operating diesel traction as it does via the third rail.
