Destination DMU Ep15, The worst we've seen! 

Good job

Thing BR did with the MK1 stock was realise that the doors themselves were stressors of some considerable potency esp when people would open them hanging on pressing downwards force versus all the other inherent vectors that a carriage would be subjected to and a lot of this stuff was built onto wooden frames which made the whole carriage "box" somewhat tender whereas the steel framed ones were much stiffer hence why SR MK1 stock was less clanky than everywhere else as Eastleigh/Ashford reused a huge amount of the ash frames from older EMU units with some of the SR's EMU stock running about on pre WW2 undercarriages whereas the rest of BR was mainly on all steel frames. Saying that, six NEL/Gri undercarriages which were steel, survived as rail carriers to this day so got to give the builders their due.

Very effective use of the internet to publicise and promote your project. Absolutely fascinating to watch the progress you’re making, and well done for being so open and honest about the learning curve you’ve had to climb. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the videos, very informative and its great to see the quality of the work. Restoring my own projects at my hr I know how long it takes. Great work!

Great job on the unit and vid guys. Very interesting.

Excellent progress on the DMU 👍🏻

Great Stuff guys

Superb job being done ! well done !

Great work guys I'm enjoying watching the progress. I understand the doors on this unit are aluminium is that correct? It seems that they've not had any rot like the rest of the steel has suffered. Would there be any advantage to using more aluminium during the restoration? Could you use it for the panels or is it not suitable? It's probably more expensive but could save a bit of weight and obviously won't rot like the steel. Thanks for any insight.

What class is that? Is it a 117 ex Western region?
