I am the grandson

Thanks Philip; so was I !

Well how fast should it go? What a moronic comment you've made.

No they weren't.

Too late. All the 1938 stock has been put out to grass, well, to rot. They'll be using diesel-powered ex-LU D stock once the line upgrading is complete.

@@peterdean8009 I know but I’m just associating these with them. And I heard they’re putting one of the 38 stock trains on the Epping to Ongar Railway.

@@peterdean8009 Not necessarily - 483007 is currently indoors at the IOWSR where it’s being kept in pristine condition with a move to eventually have it run again, while 483006 and 008 are going to the mainland where they’ll eventually run on the Epping Ongar Railway. It’s sad to see them leave the mainline, but their time had come - by the time the announcement that they were to be replaced by the ‘new’(ish!) D78-derived Class 484 EMUs, it was announced a few days earlier that there were only enough spares to service one of the fleet were there to be a breakdown!

Better check that with Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden!

Not on this railway, this is 1938 stock

Learn to type, gammon.

@@TheMusicalElitist Please explain?

@@RJH1971 No.

Neither did I! And Im from Guernsey, originally. Never been to Alderney though.

@@stevenroberts289 Ive only been to Guernsey and your your neighbour (Jersey)

They have had a railway since 1847 - 17 years after the Liverpool to Manchester line opened.

It looks like gauge 1 to me.

@@HROM1908 hard to tell on video without having some reference for size.

Cheap and lightweight I'm guessing

@@smalllocoguy770 That's exactly it.

i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

@Ari Isaac instablaster ;)

@Jack Rayan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Jack Rayan It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account !

@Ari Isaac Glad I could help xD

Some people might actually care, you do realise. Even if you don’t really, at least have some respect.

I think I saw them being used ( only for a second or two at the start ) in the Stephen Weeks movie " Ghost Story "

These were 1959 stock - they would have been painted white when actually in service on the tube. Red trains were from stock from 1938. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_1938_Stock en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_1959_Stock

Kind of late for that, the Isle of Wight`s "Island Line" used to run old 1938 tube stock, but that all ceased in early 2021 when the 1938s where permanently suspended from the line due to impracticalities and a not so easy manufacture of spare parts, as well as the units failing ALOT! and thus come August to October you might see the newly refurbished D78 stock trundling up and down the line, the D78 stock used to run on the District Line as "Sub-surface Stock" when in 2017 they where replaced by the FAR superior S stock. Keep in mind! units 006 and 008 1938 stocks are to be transported to The "Epping to Ongar" steam railway for preservation, whilst unit 007 will remain on the Isle of Wight, at the preserved steam line. The 1938 stock after introduced to "mainline service" in 1987 where re-classified as class 483 units, the D78 stock NOW is classified as the class 484. I like your enthusiasm for the LU stock, and I'm sure we ALL hope to see the old units live out their retirement years in preservation. AKA I would've proffered either the 1972 stock or the 1973 stock on the Isle of Wight, but the D stock is good enough for me. If you wish to see the 1938 stock without leaving the comfort of your home, I personally recommend that you get "Train Sim World 2" as this game features the 1938 stock in excruciating detail! (Keep in mind that the Isle of Wight comes separately from the main game and a total comes up to £44.98, Purchase at your own Peral!)

@@Viper-CT Thanks. I knew about the new stock for the IOW and I am pleased to hear that the old 1938 stock will have a new home to go to. These "old timers" deserve recognition in the railway preservation world. I don't have a particular interest in PC games but thanks for the info.

The cost of transporting a pacer to Alderney probably makes it unviable, plus the fact they’d need to build taller platforms as pacers’ doors are higher off the ground than the 59 stock. Not sure how efficient the shunter is for fuel, but pacers probably get through a fair amount of it each day.

@@al66class59 sounds like a Gardner- very efficient, reliable and easy to throw spanners at when it isn't reliable.

No they shouldn't.

Yes, very strang indeed!

Look up the 2 1/2 inch gauge Association.
