Railcar Restorers on the road Ep18, Scrapping Class 117 DMU DMS 51400, We never thought we'd do this

In this special episode of On the Road, we do something we never thought we'd do, and is the antithesis of our usual content, which is to take apart and condemn a unit for breaking. The reason why? Well, there are over 100 reasons why, and in this episode you see us take off all 100+ reasons, and watch other DMU groups from across the county doing the same for their units. We hope you understand that what we are doing is essential for the future of the country's DMU fleet, we are not the first to make such a hard decision, but we are certain we won't be the last, as there are too many projects and too few resources to successfully restore them all, we hope that you enjoy the content, and understand that for a vibrant future of preservation these parts are needed to be able to keep running units reliably running for the public to enjoy. Welcome to the first time this has been recorded in such detail, the dismantling for spares and scrapping of Class 177 DMU, DMS 51400.

The 117 donations page is linked here: https://paypal.me/Michael51370?countr... Every little helps as restoring an old unit like the 3 we have is a massive undertaking both physically and financially, it's a lack of these 2 ingredients that leads to events like 51400, so we appreciate every donation as we don't want our own units meeting the same fate as 51400 one day.
