The EVR probably have one of the best collections of DMU collections in preservation. From April we will be fielding a two car unit, a three car unit and two single units including the Iconic Iris (now with new authentic seat covers).
In April and May we will be running a five car consist in partnership with steam in the form of 78019 with two LMS Coaches and a Mk 1. I think a day rover at £12 is going to be a snip with the posibility of Iris on the incline and No.3 doing brakevan rides. Please go to:
www.e-v-r.com for more details.
The only way you will get a better view of the beautiful Eclesbourne Valley is from the veranda of a goods brakevan and you ain't going to get that unless you are a working volunteer. We have to have some perks for all the hard work! I did have a most enjoyable ride back to Wirksworth from Duffield this afternoon standing on the back veranda of the LMS Gaurdsvan, then I was acting as Guard!
Best wishes,
John H-T.
