I tort they where all scraped?

The component recovery includes EP brake equipment, electrical equipment traction motors and bogies. This unit is effectively being scrapped by Harry Needle Railroad Co at Barrow Hill on behalf of the 5-BEL trust for component recovery. The onlt coach they are hoping to save from the unit is the open second which they hope will go to the Dean Forest for their 3-CIG. This vid is sadly the last time you will see 1881 intact!

A very enjoyable video

@metadyneman It is exactly like that. it has been sold off to raise funds for the Brighton belle project by Bruce Knights.

Although I'm old enough to have done so.. I never went on the Brighton Belle, and in a way it's a shame that we might be losing a perfectly good CIG too!

phew! if it did i would actualy punch myself
Yet another excellent video, does the componment recovery of the CIG mean the unit will not even be able to be push pull or even loco hauled in the future. If so that is a great pitty....

.. Ah I've just found out it would appear 1881 has been sold and is being stripped/scrapped for the 5-BEL (Brighton Belle) Project. How true it is i don't know but it's possible this 4-CIG has been sacrificed for an even older and more famous EMU

thanks for the info, never been on a 5 BEL, so would be nice to have a trip on that.
