PNB: Personal Needs Break - normally a scheduled break for crew, but sometimes urgent ones are taken.
OTMR: On Train Monitoring Recorder
NTHC: Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre
Hoover: So called, when built due to the rheostatic braking cooling fans making a 'hoover' like noise. 50s lost this braking equipment fairly early on in there lives.
Drop a plug: Has nothing to do with surging cold water in the boiler, after all, it's the water that keeps the plug cool and prevents the lead core from melting. These plugs melt when the water level is allowed to drop to a level below the firebox crown, otherwise the resulting weakening from overheating the firebox will cause this area to bulge under the pressure and eventually explode.
