I can remember been blown away by the 150 when on trial at stourbridge fresh from the works (plastic still on seats) but agree that they are now past their best. They have been instrumental in the modernisation of the railways in my view. The problem preserving them I presume will be the complex electronics and with scrap prices so high will anyone justify cost of a unit anyway? May be a case for NRM or similar to preserve one.
