Southern Electric - Brighton Electrification 1933

First, let me say that I am sorry that I haven't posted for 8 days. Being self employed means that sometimes you have busy or quiet periods. The last few days have been a busy period, so I just haven't had the time.

So today I offer something in the meantime, until I find the time to really put some blog entries together. A piece from 1933 British Movietone film, shortly after the Brighton Line had been electrified. It is a silent movie I am afraid - but if you like, I will pull out the old Joanna, and see what I can come up with.

Be back in a couple of days.

Southern Electric - British Rail Class 445 (4PEP)

Not long until Christmas now :-)

Does anyone remember the PEP? No, not me personally. Though I did remember seeing one at Clapham Junction in the early 90's, feeling very sorry for itself. But then it was a prototype, from which was developed the Class 508 and the Class 313 (amongst others).
