Hi, also long gone are the small single compartments. Do you put your recordings on dvd and sell them on Ebay?

[sinkplunger]

@paulowenrussell I dont at the moment sell the videos. Thanks

Pity none of the MK1 or MK2 AC units were saved complete,reliable old things they were.Much nicer than the plastic junk they build now!

[sinkplunger]

@AG3304 Very sad and short sighted that one wasnt kept.

Just to let everone know there are two 302 driving trailers at the mangapps railway museum which is situated in Burnham-on-crouch.

That sound, it brings back memories, Mum taking me down the station to watch them when I was only three, and they were painted green then. The endless cab rides as a teenager...I never plucked up enough courage to ask for a go at driving!! The last train at night, home from the girlfriends house, trying to stay awake so I didn't miss my stop! Later as clerk in charge of a station seeing them away. Now watching them on You Tube.........now they've gone.

@sinkplunger no i'm not sure either as it was 6 years ago when i went but i have the photo somehwhere when i find it i shall e-mail you so you will know if i am correct but i'm probably not.

[sinkplunger]

@cvrmaniac Last time I visited Mangapps which was last year, the only 302 bits are the two driving cabs. I wish you are correct.

[cvrmaniac]

also as well i think the other two sets of mark one coaches (pantograph) are also at the railway but i'm not sure...

Some nice old footage. Dont know if you narrated and put this together yourself or not, but if you did - well done and many thanks for upload.

Unsafe auto lock the slam doors trains. Is most dangerously not disposed to open the doors! The trains guards responsible to auto open the doors until stop train at the station. What could breaking door open that will cause to loose auto-locks!!! We'll be replace made new electrical railway by slide doors better than old trains like the end of second world war part of the years anyway.

@sinkplunger Quite right.They even painted one green in the 80s,l think it was.
