Even with selective editing the link seems not to want to play ball!
Let's hope it's nothing to do with GeoCities being switched off today.

It's primiarily the Chiltern Lines Sandite train, thus runs mainly Marylebone - Amersham - Aylesbury, Princes Risborough etc... I spotted it ambling through Aylesbury about two years ago!

This is a 3 car class 117 DMU that used to run on the Western Region out of Paddington until replaced by class 165 and 166 DMU Turbos. It was originally a 2 car unit but a reduntant DM car was bought by Chiltern Railways and the cab was replaced by a gangway. Thus the unit is made up of DMBS-MBS-DMBS!
It makes a frightful noise, actually thought a helicopter was trying to land as it ran through Harrow the other week! I have also decided to make one, by converting my old blue Lima cl 117 DMU! Photos to follow.
