3a. Network Rail class 73 Electro-Diesel 73138 at the head of a typical track recording train in February 2013 at Sompting. The formation included 977983, 999550, a MK1 coach and a MK2 brake with 73107 at the tail end.

3b. A more detailed view of 977983. This vehicle started life as MK2 FO 3407 before being converted to Gatwick Express TFOLH 72503. It's initial departmental use was as a brake force runner for test trains, but has since been converted to the Electrification Measurement Vehicle with a pan well added to one end of the vehicle. Apparently this is a contactless system and no pan is actually fitted.
