Thomas YoungI believe that the generator on this vehicle is DB19. What we do know is that DB19 was built by Petbow and entered stock on 8/6/93, and this just happens to be the same date as for 2541M. We also know that it remains in use with Tube Lines. 2541M was withdrawn 12/8/02, while 2584M was new on 16/8/02. Barely visible in this photo is a rib across the top of the generator, towards the rear. As can be seen here, this feature distinguishes the generator on 2584M from those on similar 2562M and 2563M.Sun 08/03/09, 15:09
