    Hi all,

    Just to let you know that Pressed Steel Class 121 Driving Trailer Second W54289 moved today from the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Wirksworth, Derbyshire to a new home up on the East Lancs. Railway. These vehicles were originally designed specifically to add extra capacity to small branch lines at busy times by tagging them on to the ends of Class 121 Bubblecars. Very few remain.

    Cheers.
