With a typical Vale of York farmstead as a backdrop, Siemens-built three-car Class 185 'Desiro' DMU 185 148 hammers along the East Coast Main Line at Raskelf with a working bound for Manchester Airport.
I think this is one of the best looking Tink pins out there. Some of the others I've seen, she looks kinda messed up.
after getting a phone call first thing in the morning telling me to run outside because there were 2,000 Santas running amok ...stumbled upon multiple feral parrots while climbing up a tall, tall hill for a breathtaking 360 view of all the bay. hopefullly all these multiples are a sign of good fortune. (that's the little bit of China that I can't shake ...thinking everything is a sign of either good fortune, prosperity or longevity.)
(British Rail), Class 230, “Pop-up Metro” Battery Electric Multiple Units (BEMU’s) 230002 & 230011, Rockhill Trolley Museum, Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania USA. Friday 20 June 2025
It’s complicated, very complicated.
230002 was rebuilt by Vivarail at Long Marston in 2018 as a two car BEMU from former London Transport D78 underground trains built 1978 – 1981. The two Driving Motor cars are numbered 300002 (ex. LT 7122) and 300102 (ex. LT 7067). Each Driving Motor carries two batteries. In 2020 a centre carriage was added 300202 (ex. LT 17091). In April 2021 the train was exported to the Rockhill Trolley Museum, Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania USA, minus its centre carriage which was later scrapped in October 2022.
In 2021 an additional two car unit was built by Vivarail, 230011 although both carriages were just Driving Trailer cars, numbered 300011 and 300111 (I do not know there former LT identies). This unit was exported to the USA in April 2022. Both the units are owned by ‘Railroad Development Corporation’ (RDC). They were paid for by RDC and delivered before Vivarail went bust. Both units are in an orange, silver and black livery.
After the arrival of the second unit 230011 the two units were split in half, with Driver Trailer 300111 being swapped for Driver Motor 300102, thus you ended up with two battery trains (although with half the range). The reformed units now became 230002 (ii) and 230011 (ii) although too further complicate it the original end unit numbers remained as shown below:
230002 (ii) is now 230002/230011, 300002 DM 300111 DT
230011 (ii) is now 230002/230011, 300102 DM 300011 DT
Confused yet, I certainly am!
230002 (ii) is well and truly securely locked up inside a separate part of Car Barn 2 where there is strictly no admission and it cannot be seen from outside or from inside the main car barn area. If possible when visiting heritage railways and tramways I try to venture in to areas that that the general public are forbidden to go as that is where the most interesting stuff is normally kept. However on this occasion I had no chance whatsoever as the adjoining part of the car barn had no windows and it was not possible to crawl underneath the walls of the building. It appears to be easier to get inside the Louvre and pinch the French crown jewels than it is to see a train!
230011 (ii) is stored outside adjacent to Car Barn 1 where access was not easy; although possible as you can see in the accompanying photographs.
