Interesting how these things are looked at and where the detail is located, integral or remotely. I travelled on District line yesterday, wimbledon to nottinghill, although I'd guess the traction motors are relatively simple ? The absolute colosul miles of cabling far outweighs this aspect. Hadn't thought of it in that way before, but infrastructure outside the pure traction is immense, that in comparison to a diesel locomotive needing just rails and fuel tank to run.

The old dmu units used Leyland 680 engines

There’s a Deltic on EBay if anyone has a spare 25k

There's not much needed for me to post this again https://youtu.be/QtUEPwHnxmU as example of ice indoctrination. Quad rotor wankel, so 4 rotating main parts, one crankshaft and a bunch of bearings.
They started this one at goodwood fos one year, sounds like armagedon, has wierd doppler effect in soundstage (like the noise surrounds you) and had people walking towards it like zombies, not really knowing what it was. It's a freaky noise and possibly deep in our response cortex may resemble being chased by a mad bear ;D
Seems like a human brain development path, to chase fear as there lives progress. :D or something of that ilk.

Not a Delly but a class 50 frozen solid and blowing fire at Kidderminster. They were always the best at blowing smoke rings ;D
