Accident(s)
In 1982, powercar No #2008 suffered a head on collision with a truck at a railway crossing and sustained severe front end damage. The railcar was eventually repaired and returned to service.
On 9 December 2004, Jumbo Powercar #2011 (with trailers #2105 and #2106) caught on fire at Adelaide station at around 8 am. The fire was contained to an electrical cabinet in the diesel alternator room. As the diesel alternator room is airtight, with only oxygen coming in from the air intake for the engine, there was minimal damage to the interior of the car. The railcar was returned to service with #2105 and #2106 (which were used with #2002 when #2011 was taken out) all in the Adelaide Metro livery after being repaired. #2102-#2001-#2113 also was repainted.
