Hello!

This group is open for enquiries and discussion surrounding not just 1198, but other future plans the EMU Preservation Society may consider.

If you can help, please join up.

In 2010, our unit will be celebrating 50 years service and we are looking for volunteers to help make her look her best.

Simply by subscribing to our Society means that another small but vital component can be purchased to maintain our train. We produce a regular colour magazine and have a dedicated site for emails and discussion.

1198 is currently at the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway in South Wales, and has been used regularly throughout 2008 and 2009 with the main service starting with the opening of Blaenavon High Level in 2010.

Our membership secretary can send you the necessary application forms:

Simply write to: EMUPS c/o Hilary Press, 75 Church Road, Hendon, LONDON NW4 4DP

or

tel: 07961 990344

Note the work on the underframe, and reconditioned height limiting bars.

Over the past 50 years, 1198 was previously 2314, 2304 and 7175. Maybe you travelled in her?
We would like to hear more.

Please post your memories on this group as well.
