A fun video about the old LTSR/District services to Southend.  I have always wanted a model of the coaches used for this service ever since I saw a Model Railway News drawing back in the 1960’s – they were most attractive.

A new tourist train; and

A new hydrogen powered train.  Should go with a bang….
