Tractor Triumph : EMT 37-hauled Passenger

[wensley]

Hazy, but probably the best light of the day, 37425 working 1K05 on behalf of EMT with 405 hanging on the rear. It was worth the trip south after the cloud broke up backside-clenchingly close to booked time!

Nice catch there Wensley, that was a fun trip to do. I'm visible hanging out of the only public door on the brake

And here's a link to my video of it leaving Crewe on the second trip Linky

Nice video. Sounded better nice and loud, enjoyed that. Not sure whether my fellow residents did though...

I'm sure it was very much an after thought given the focus on the traction, but what did you think of the refurbished mark 2s?

To be honest I didn't get much of a view inside the Mark 2s as I spent both journeys in the doorway.

From the outside they look fantastic though once inside in the door area at least it leaves a bit to be desired, the walls are carpeted but it looks like a bit of a rushed job as the edges are all jagged near to access panels and have been frayed enough to reveal the orange underneath. The inside of the main saloons (when viewed from outside) seemed to appear like original IC70? seating which had been reupholstered. Either way i'd be happy with it.
