Railcar boost for Dereham’s DMU group
THE arrival of Class 117 Trailer Composite Lavatory at the Mid-Norfolk Railway has opened up the possibility of seeing a three-car formation of the DMU class operating on the line. TCL No. 59520 arrived from the now-closed Dartmoor Railway’s Meldon Quarry on September 9, joining the Class 117 Set L432 Preservation Group’s two driving trailers currently undergoing overhaul. Amid other work, it will require new windows, having suffered vandalism during the last few years of outdoor storage at its former home.
