I have just been told that the three-car class 115 from the Barry Railway has been bought by scrap dealers EMR.

The three vehicles are believed to be

and were in reasonable condition when last seen.

EMR are willing to sell these, either individually or as a job lot. They can't be stolen as the price of scrap is so high at the moment but EMR are keen to have them preserved. There are also some DMU bogies but no info as yet as to what they are from.

The set is still at Barry but is due to go to the yard within the next week, if a quick sale can be agreed transport could be direct to the new owners.

Anyone interested to ring Phil at EMR on 07970 082787 (number quoted on - line in original e-mail) [or e - mail [email protected]] as quickly as possible.

Please PM me if you need any more info.

PS Is there anyone in the area who can identify what the bogies are from? They are currently "in the bushes" I am told.

HI
The bogies are from class 101 and are all with final drives. One has had the sliding dog etc taken out and used to repair another unit.

I live local to this set (1 street over) unfortunatly I would not be able to identify what bogies they are.

As for the DMU set it has has heat damage from a fire last year, the appear to of damaged paint work on the 2nd mans side of the lead car around the first window area and cab door, altough no glass was broken due to the heat, there could well be a little somke damage (smell) inside. the unit is proberbly very damp inside as during the winter there were several drop light left open and the van doors left open. This set has worked in preservation. I can get some pictures of the damage side from a public place if anyone wants some

Fair play to EMR for making them available for sale.

Im sure theres a line somewhere that could use a DMU.

 

[Multiple Unit]

Well the ELR could use a centre car as could the SVR It may be an Idear for the EvR To take on the two Driving cars or Llangollen take them on though Im sure they will be bought by someone.

 

[acquiesce]

Could these be painted in railblue with a full yellow face?

If you owned it, you could paint it in whatever colour you so choose.......

If you're asking would it be historically correct to paint in all over blue and yellow, then the answer is yes.
