  • Hey guys, for my 500 sub special, I described every single DMU is 10 words or less (except all the pre-BR stuff) I hope you enjoy the video and the idea.
    Thanks to Majestic Trains, who gave me inspiration for this video (from Every Locomotive described in 10 words)
    If you like my videos, please remember to comment, like and subscribe and I will see you in the next video. Lets get to 600 subs!w
    Thanks to Josef Middlton (imado123) for sending in a tune to use in my video.

    Just to confirm before you comment, this video is a one-off, and I *WILL NOT* make a video on EMUS or anything else you request in 10 words or less. So please do not bother asking me.

    Class 158:
    -Could you open the window? It's a bit stuffy in here.
    -If I opened the window it would upset the air conditioning.
    -If the aircon worked, I wouldn't be asking you to open the window...

    The comment on the 125 unit was wrong. They timed the Lea Valley service using a 125 and thought the 305's would smash it. Sadly the 305's couldn't keep to the timings set so they had to do it again. I loved the 125 units. So did most of the blokes who used them once they had the brakes sorted.

    I refer to the Class 197 as the 'Knee Destroyer'. I swear the springs on that thing were intentionally designed to kill people standing. Their always full too so you can't get a seat.
    The Class 158 is luxury in comparison.

    My lovely 159s ❤ Still the best thing that I've driven out of 400s, 442s (Pigs), Disastros 🤮 and 170s (100mph but 90 if joined to a 159).
    I have always detested BR Blue. Some of the early colour schemes were beautiful in green with their whitewall tyres and whiskers. I mocked up a picture of a 159 in that scheme on an early form of Photoshop. It looks quite good 😁
