    Please can anyone update me on what is happening over this DMU as it seems that all has gone quiet. I HOPE someone can save this unit, it seems a shame to scrap it.
    Also is there any news on what is happening to the GLOU - WARKS railways class 108 DMU?:confused1:

    Many Thanks.

    It was from the Barry railway. IIRC it got a bit cooked by a fire, but is not that badly damaged. The unfortunate thing is, alot of work had been put into restoring it before it got abandoned. Must be heartbreaking for volunteers to see their efforts turned into razor blades.
    Heres some pictures
