Hi,
Apologies if not placed post in right sub forum.
There is a particular Class 142 that is currently in warm storage at Newton Heath. In all probabilities she will end up under the cutter's torch. Much as i'd like to save her, that would be far, far too much cost.
If I find out when the time comes which scrapyard she is going to, I should be able to contact them directly and request a part to be saved, which I can then purchase off them?
Is it worth contacting Northern to see if they will save something for me?
Complete newbie at this. What is a good part to salvage?
Ideally it would be something that was original, small enough to ship and reasonably priced.
I see at the moment the 142s are going to either Kingsbury EMR or Newport.
I have the contact details for Kingsbury but don't know the name of the scrapyard in Newport?
Thanks,
Bodie
