The Swedish railcar that I was asking about has now been moved to the Nene Valley Railway. An article about the move is in todays Hartlepool Mail.

I wonder how on earth it ever came from Sweden in the first place.

By boat?

Well, I imagine it did, I just wonder how that came about.

It was advertised on the Internet and brought to England by low loader. Its actually not that expensive.

There are a number of privately owned locomotives/train sets in Sweden that are used on the main line from time to time.

Didn't know the internets been around since the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Depends on what you mean by internet as some would argue that we've had it since the 70s.

Well I suppose as it came to England in 1984 and prestel was available for the home computer at the time.
