Hello all again, this thread is with regard to my other thread which was unsuccessful lol. Is anybody from East Anglia particularly interested or even people from other areas of britain interested in setting up a preservation society or group to preserve an unusual type of locomotive? You can...

I like that it looks good :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- how do u get into to see workshops and stuff like that?

Well 37411 is in the WNTS pool unserviceable but in a good condition so theres hope yet! ;) but its one of DBS celebrities so I doubt they'd sell it. I personally had 37428 in mind from Margam Depot.

:wink:Hello all, this is an extremely bold statement but would anybody from around the East Anglia region consider forming a large preservation society or group to preserve a 37/4 in this region? I know several are being sold by Db Schenker :wink: If anybody has any suggestions or can suggest...

From Biggleswade to York it costs £17.80 and from York to Sunderland £5.50. You would depart Biggleswade at 11.01 and arrive at 11.38 From Peterborough you would depart...

Lovely :)

Yesterday i observed at Harrow & Wealdstone in an hour 350's 234 and 262 on Crewe services and 118 and 103 on Tring services! I do hope they sort out the diagramming soon!

I went past stewarts lane depot yesterday and i saw an ex overground 313/508 and a few southeastern ones so they must be preparing them there or storing them until brighton can begin work on them. what baffles me is why dont they get put to use on the south london lines instead of converting the...

well i do know that they've had they're inverters or whatever they're called replaced cos of the heat building up in the underframes cos of the suburban work they do. The low pitched sound when a desiro moves off is made because the driver has put the power on a lower notch until the train...
