And Eastleigh.

 

 


I always thought that the class 170s looked quite smart in the South West Trains livery.

Yep, I have to agree, but I also liked them in Central and Midland as well.


The SWT 170s migrated to TransPennine Express and eventually ended up in the then ‘current’ TPE livery which, to my eyes, also suited them well.

170392 was the oddball one in the fleet, it had the black light surrounds and retained some of the interior fit from it previous owner. They weren’t really suited to the Romsey rounders as they overheated on the frequent stops and they were a pain for the guards on the London services if it was raining as they got a bit wet ;)  They looked good though!

There was another dmu in the SWT fleet in 2006

Is that early Hornby ones?

No they were Lima, pre the Hornby re-issues I think. I just painted what they supplied.

Hmm, Andy, I thought you were a freight addict....and now all these commuter dmus and emus. Your working timetable will have to reflect the preponderance of such traffic with only the occasional freight movement, or does rule 1 apply?

I'm not that good at finishing things without my Hot Glue Gun.:dancer:

Could rig a hot glue gun up to the cigarette lighter. :drag:

 

Boxer Bay came for a visit the other day and I thought he said you were getting into 3 rail :o... 

Obviously he said 3rd rail !:biggrin_mini2:

 

Those 4CEPs and BEPs bring back memories.

 

Added to the watch list.

I like the and the change of location. Watching the video it did feel rather like the route between Southampton and Portsmouth. I used ttravel that regularly when I was project managing the closure of the Portmouth Computer centre. All them watery bits seemed just right.

Yeah Brian, As I said in the Video, (No 28,  https://youtu.be/MjmG5Yx3Gfs  ) I want more Freight, so the location had to move, and consequentially more Passenger as well.

 

And YES, Rule 1 will apply.:dancer:
