Class317 looks as beautiful as ever
Lovely to see one of these legendary emus preserved.
Cool
A really interesting video and loved the part where it was pulled on and off the trailer.
hopefully one day you could possibly preserve a 321, considering they were the main train operating in east anglia
3:01 I spot pacer in the background
Very coo glad to see some new attractions coming love the museum. Can't wait to see what livery it ends up with. Shame it won't stay in the greater anglia livery. Assume the interior will remain greater anglia
While there is no remote comparison between very different types of traction, this Class of emu did very well in terms of longevity. There were steam locos , especially 9Fs which didn’t last as long, so I’m informed. But what use can this portion be put to?
I think the 310/312 lasted similar time on the LTS (now C2C) line
EARM had the NRM class 306 in the 2010's, it was basically left to rust, sorry to say unloved, what is to stop the same happening again? the 306 told the same story of electric power on our railways, which you say the 317 will now cover.
Hi Vinny, I have only been involved with EARM less than 2 years, so I can't speak for what happened in 2010. However, the current team are very hardworking, conscientious and forward-looking, so I am very confident this unit will be looked after very well. I suspect a lot of heritage museums have to labour over which of their "babies" to prioritise and what may need to be paused upon due to funds. I imagine, if I had to choose between restoring a Victorian carriage, or restoring a recent electric one, then I guess I would choose the Victorian one, most days of the week. Its not ideal, but sometimes organisations are forced to make these kind of choices.
