I know there is a great preservation program in your country. I have participated in two journeys here in New York City (I live about 80 miles from the city border in Pennsylvania). I just had the pleasure of riding R-1 R-9's from the Pre-WWII era. Those units are excellent for high speed rolling and in town touring on the elevated lines of Brooklyn. How often does the LU conduct such excursions? My wife and I will be moving to Scotland in 2015 and I am already drooling just at the thought of riding on historic rolling stock. I have read much about the LU and fins it totally fascinating. The equipment and their appearance is really cool for someone who now only sees stainless steel. I was a regular NYC patron in the 50's and 60's and recall all the old iron that was used back then. Right now, NYC is really going and doing well with it's musuem stock. Units from the 60's are now being preserved and thankfully they have a wonderful facility to do the job. Anyway, I was just wondering. I hope you are all well and enjoying riding your trains. P.S., I am not really a new member. When I changed servers, I lost all my prior information and had to join anew. My name is Frank Raniere and I am on facebook every day.
