Preservation Modifications |
|||
Preservation Information The vehicle was restored externally into BR Green livery and made its passenger debut in May 1998. Around a decade of occasional service was to follow. Being vacuum braked, 59761 was used both as a DMU in its own right and as loco hauled coaching stock along the railway centre’s modest running line. Around the mid 2000's (exact date unknown), 59761 was removed from service and put on static display. Sadly conservation work on the vehicle has not kept pace with the damaging effects of outside storage, so the vehicle currently presents a careworn image. |
