I don't follow train/unit numbers, but this looks significant. the 141's would have been earlier so it's not the first ever pacer, so why this number - were there simply 1000 141's? Thanks!!
With its distinctive flat front, bus seating and functional design, the diesel 'Pacer' train may seem an unlikely candidate for museum preservation. However, Pacer No. 142001 will now join the National Railway Museum’s collection as an example of recent railway history.
- Pacer No. 142001 donated by Angel Trains and Northern
- Unit to go on display at Locomotion in Shildon, County Durham
