HLE 18 & 19: eerste spots

[Stef]

I thought I saw 1888 yesterday in Gent-Dampoort on a IC G or IC P (I was driving in my car but I think I saw the number very well). Is this possible? If this isn't possible then it was then it should be the 1868.

1888 is still in Germany but 1868 has been in service for a number of weeks now.

1872 entered service today probably on the 15:08 Liège - Quiévrain service.

I currently think there are 66 in service with 4 undergoing acceptance and 1863 with fire damage.

Does anyone know how bad the fire damage is to 1863?

I do not know what has been delivered this week, anyone know?

1880+1881 in Schaarbeek

After a 17 day hiatus with no new T18s in passenger service, 1863 and 1873 have been seen in passenger service today, 30th April 2012.

I assume the pause in deliveries had something to do with this [bron: Wallorail 13/04/12]

Passage à Vonêche des 1881 et 1880 lors du parcours de réception. Les dernières machines arrivées en Belgique ne sont pas autorisées à 200km/h car Siemens a changé la forme d'une poignée sur la face avant. Cela génère une augmentation anormale du bruit dans le poste de conduite à 200km/h. A suivre...

Does anyone know how serious the problem was and what has been done to fix it?

1870 was seen in passenger service today, 02/05/12, on ICK Gent - Genks.

1879 was seen in service on 18th May 2012.

Added information to the list on Page 1 with three new arrivals and some locomotives ready for service.

Currently on holiday in Perth, Western Australia hence the posting time, it is bright and sunny here!

1883 was seen in passenger service on ICA on 22nd May 2012.

Does anyone know why the T19s are not being delivered and why they are not being tested? 1903 and 1904 were seen in March on delivery to Kinkempois and yet there have been no further sightings or photographs. There have been reports in the UK of T18s being used on IC E, which seems strange when there are new T19 locomotives that are specifically built for these services.

Zoals gepost in het andere HLE18/19 topic: 1884 gezien in Brugge op 24/05/2012.

1888 and 1889 were seen at Schaarbeek Wednesday evening [30/05/12] presumably for the L2 Test train.

Recent locomotives entering service

1840 25th May

I think there are only ten T18s to go now, 1861, 1865, 1877 and 1890 to 1896
