87 tons of what?

What was contained within the body shell of the 87-ton Class 76 (and the 103-ton Class 77)? There was no diesel engine or generator (as in a diesel-electric machine, e.g. Class 37, weighing 100 tons) and no transformer or rectifier (as in an AC locomotive, e.g. Class 81, weighing 80 tons), so was it mostly full of resistors or ballast to increase the adhesive weight? 87.75.117.183 (talk) 18:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to

Boddy, M.G.; Fry, E.V.; Hennigan, W.; Hoole, Ken; Mallaband, Peter; Neve, E.; Price, J.H.; Proud, P.; Yeadon, W.B. (April 1990). Fry, E.V. (ed.). Locomotives of the L.N.E.R., part 10B: Railcars and Electric Stock. Lincoln: RCTS. p. 106. ISBN 0-901115-66-5.

the portion of the body between the cabs was divided into five compartments, being machinery, resistance, high tension, train heating boiler, and machinery. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
