2-EPB unit 6307 has been in preservation for over 25 years. During that time it has seen several owners, but no period of stability or prolonged restoration. That is about to change with the creation of the 2-EPB project with the Suburban Electric Railway Association members joining forces with local Southern Electric Group volunteers to create 'The Kent Alliance' as strength in numbers is considered the best approach to a project like this.

All the very best with this and other Southern Electric projects.

Well done, so nice to see sr bulleid units being preserved!

@brianwillson9567 Год назад

More power to your elbow. I class emu cars very low on priorities for preservation, BUT representative examples should be preserved. Well done and every success to you.

Was this Unit stored for a while on the old Winkleigh Airfield in Devon? I do remember seeing a Unit up there back along. I remember riding on these during the 1950s and sixties between Norbury, East Croydon and Victoria 94 Headcode. Great, wish you all the best.

Nice project guys 👍🏻

I remember these units showing headcode 18 on the Waterloo to Weybridge and Windsor service. The train divided at Staines, with 4 coaches usually going to Weybridge and 2 to Windsor & Eton Riverside.

There is a 3 car one of these at Hunsbury hill railway in Northampton. Was told it was put there by some enthusiasts who then abandoned it. It was in reasonable condition until the kids broke some of the windows

Not sure it will ever travel on BR rails again - they didn’t have a speedo. Think the rules have changed a bit since their withdrawel

If only you knew somebody that had rebuilt an EMU cab before

Best wishes for a successful restoration project. Is it intended that the set would be operational; it would require a stretch of third rail 750 volt dc, complete with transformer and rectifier. Not as difficult as 25kv,ac, but a mammoth task nonetheless. Secondly, the great disparity of rust between the almost perfect trailer and the seriously rusty motor car. Is there any obvious reason for such a difference?

@TEAMKENT6307 Год назад

Hello, thanks for your comment. The plan is to restore this so it can work with a loco and not touch the 750V DC side this time around as, like you say, there is no where it can work like that. As for the disparity in the vehicles that one is a mystery???!!

@highpath4776 4 месяца назад

Fast battery charging seems to be a way forward at least for short shuttles somewhere. 750vdc on battery not too difficult

Is that the remains of a Bullied pacific I see in the background?

It would be lovely if it was repainted into nse

How is EPB 5176 doing?

@A-Trainspotter-From-Berkshire Год назад

I would suggest you film in landscape.

@TEAMKENT6307 Год назад

Yes, we did this as it worked better with phones but the feedback is that landscape is preferred so all the videos on the channel are filmed that way.
