Sadly the UK seems to have few people interested in preservation of Electric units, and even an organisation such as the NRM which you would have thought would have a more ‘strategic’ preservation overview seems more interested in anything that pulled the royal train…

I’ve only got a couple of years to go for that; I spent my 30s commuting in Southern Region Mk1 EMUs, mostly 4-VEPs and 4-CIGs. Those are currently being withdrawn, and will probably be gone in a year or so. At least one deserves to be preserved.

Wait ’til the commuter trains you rode in your thirties start turning up in museums, as is the case with the Chicago and North Western set at Union Illinois! Geriatric check.

Yes, green is good, as in as-delivered Warships, and in New Haven motors too big for the British loading gauge.
