Just a quick question, having read the section on shed leads. When shed leads are connected are the collector shoes live? Best Wishes to all Hugh  |

AFAIK the shoes are live. We're told to assume all shoes are live regardless what side the positive rail is, so I suppose the same applies with shed leads. Assume it's all live and you can't go wrong! This was relevant to me recently when I managed to drop my mobile phone down the side of the train at Edgware Road  The DSM reminded me to make sure I was nowhere near any shoes when using the grabby handle thing to retrieve it, even though the +ve rail was the opposite side to the platform. |

Simple answer:
Yes, they are all connected on the same circuit.
For the same reason when on the juice, it isnt a good idea to stick you fingers in the receptical box either! ;D

Which leads to the question of whether the shed lead receptacles have locking covers? They do - see sample photos here. |

No those are covers but they don't lock. 92/95/96 stock do have locking covers with the track/shed switch linked (IIRC) to the round train circuit. Older stocks don't have locking covers - someone please correct me if I'm not entirely correct. |

Was this a new innovation on the 92s or were they also lockable on the 83 and 86 prototype stocks?
