  • For someone that isn't too knowledgeable when it comes to British Rail 'Heritage' DMUs - which type is the NSE DMU seen in the beginning (before the HST arrives), and the one seen after the first loco hauled service?

  • The first unit is a class 207 (207 017) which was a Southern Region D.E.M.U. The second unit is a Class 117 (L425 51363-59515-51405) Hope that helps.

  • Wow. The HST power car at 1:31 is Mirrlees engined (43 167). Thanks for this video...goldmine.

  • Thanks. If you're interested, 43 154 is on the back.

    Haha!

    I must say i watched half this video and wondered what the hell am I doing. lol. Was more interested in seeing what goes on AROUND the trains - people, fashions, noises, etc. ratyher than the machines themselves . Obviously whoever filmed it was genuinely fascinated by the machines- thats waht differentiates train spotters from the rest oof humanity, i guess.

    Each to his own.

  • Cool, brought back memories... ;-)

  • @Panarail why thank you for comments, I always like to support the train spotting community no matter how backwards and sad they seem

    all the best

  • @Panarail Thank you!

    One more question: What services would the various types of trains be operating? I'd guess the Class 117 would operate the services terminating at Reading (ie like the Class 165s do today), with the 207 operating stopping services to Didcot/Oxford, and the NSE Class 47s+Mk1s operating fast servies to Oxford/beyond (like the Class 166s today)?
