  • No. 43091 will only be on site for a matter of days prior to further onward road movement.
    The Plym Valley Railway has announced that Ex-GWR HST Powercar, No. 43063, has entered preservation with them after being withdrawn from service.
    In this video we see the arrival of this Class 43 powercar No. 43091 after traveling the short distance from Plymouth Laira Depot.
    Power car 43063 is understood to be destined for preservation, whilst sister 43161 has been provided as a source of spare parts, and will be broken up on site at Plym Valley over winter.
    Neither power car has a power unit fitted.

    Best of luck with restoring the Class 43, This was the best train in British railways passenger use, even today I'm lucky enough to travel to Scotland & travel behind the Ex GWR "Scotrail HST" services, Comfort at its best & not like the newer IET Trains which has replaced the Class 43's with Bench Rock Hard Seats, wish you all well guys, great edition to your collection even if it is used for Spares Recovery.

    How complete is this one? I can see the do not rob sign in the cab window. Strange how quickly GWR dispensed with operational green ones like 005 and 041 and kept these 3 if they weren’t all being used as a source of spares.

      Surely it would have made more sense to swap engines and wheel sets over if they were out of hours/exam and keep the operational ones going.

    hi, good luck, its going to cost big money, thats without a new engine, have they really thought this through.then there is the cost of fuel, for me i will stick with toy trains
