Looking great... should be a big lift to the project getting the outside done...

A great job done after all the resteration you have done

Great progress, good fabrication work on the corridor

Nice paint job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 well done guys.

I always look forward to your updates. Progress is looking seripusly good Any comments on roofing materials and techniques? As well as your own, I've been watching clips from Blodge and Maespoeth to Ropley and it seems roof coverings are tricky, with the damage from water ingress on any stock a 'biggie'. I'm guessing what works on wooden bodied stock ain't necessarily going to work on a 1950/60s metal bodied DMMU.

Great Job Guys

preservation can be compl;ex

Great to see the progress and such a good paint finish. Well done all.

I think that you can be really proud of the finish you have achieved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good to see the restoration progressing well, been following for a bit now. I think it would be a good idea to put tarp over it while it is stood outside assuming you have some? Correct me if wrong or whatever

I worked on some of the ones built by Metro Cammell, Saltley Bham in the late 50s.

Such a great video! Keep up the good work 😁

Looks good! Fitting as I'm going to Buxton (the home of the Class 104s) next week!

Really enjoy you output. These unsung workhorses are going to be crucial to most heritage lines in the years to come. It's great to see the learning curve developing to ensure the worst design weaknesses of 1st gen DMMUs are being sympathetically ironed out and the techniques being honed to ensure thorough restorations. I still think it a great shame you guys weren't around when all bar three carriages of the Class 103s purchased from BR bit the dust. They'd have been a first rate example of just about every design issue you've mentioned over the vourse of the series to date .. as well as being the best proportioned of the breed IMO.

Nice work. Good to see other Railcar groups thriving.

Is that an ex-Chiltern line class117?

Great work you have all done

More good work by the MNR lads.

Very interesting video as I am trying to build a 0 gauge model of a 120 at moment. All the descriptions I have read suggest the ceiling was white but from the video that was clearly not the case. I worked on 120s from time to time back in the 70s and in particular remember the TRSBs still had the catering equipment including Stotts boiler and fridge still fitted even though, with the exception of Inverness and a few Cardiff based units, they had mostly not been used since 1962. Good luck with the restoration of one of the most comfortable units BR ever designed.

Great progress and lovely standard of work going on here. Maybe next time tyre lubricant might help to fit the rubber door stops.

Any Tear-down of this nature is like peeling back the Layers an Onion - Happy days 👍🏻

super wotk ok 😊

I remember these units working Hereford-Worcester-Birmingham services in the 1980s. FWIW, the UK spring business used to be based in Redditch.

Great work guys on these old railway vehicles. Sadly I don't know much about these trains but respect to you both for the great restoration on this Class 117.

Fantastic Video Guys of 51412's Restoration Update... Great Watch & Keep up the Fantastic Work!

So interesting to watch as always, well done guys

Great to see detail of all the hard work you are doing - keep it up!

Another great episode with everything done properly. Are you intending to run this with another driving car before your own is done?

Lots of great work happening here. Your enthusiasm even over such a long project is apparent.

Love the start music,great modern new look well done on the resto when can it get an MOT

Brilliant work chaps such unwavering dedication. Wasn't much of a diesel fan but watching your enthusiasm has changed my view..

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Respect, lads. She's looking most excellent. I look forward to the day I get to ride her.

Great work guys

Gents, another great video, I really admire your skills tackling the bodywork.

Coming along nicely, keep it going lads 👍

Great work love the old dmu so much more welcoming than any of the modern dmu”s

Great video chaps - what music track was towards the end?.
