I've never seen our five car DMU full. I think if we ever needed another DMU, it would be easier to split that one in to a three car and a two car set. _________________ Graham Phillips

Dear All, I can see the points being made but it could be argued this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity? If missed will the situation be regretted?
Am I right in thinking the SVR was originally a steam only affair? Now the DMU is seen as a definite part of the railway.
So I wonder if these class 121's will end up going to a good home or end up on he scrapheap? _________________ Thanks Reg. |

I agree they should be saved rather than scrapped, I just think there's many other heritage railways that would have a greater need for a single car DMU.
Perhaps, one day, they will visit for a Diesel Gala. _________________ Graham Phillips

Seem to remember some years ago, Chiltern said we could possibly have one when they had finished with them. |
