In Fact there are two version we have the closed window version with air
conditioning
& the open window version with breeze conditioning if the train is going in
to the wind
It was the open window version that broke down the other day, I knew we
should of pulled in to that petrol station as seen on TV.
The closed window version is very cool in summer, But I think is more noisy
of the two.
Oh !! The open window version is more noisy in summer, because the window
rattle when they are up. (well they did go up, but someone modified them to
only go part of the way, with the aid of angle aluminium and rivets)
The good thing about the old carriages is that you could change the set
around so you could have the option, To see were you were going, or see the
past flashing by.
You might like to visit part of the railway track & if you are really lucky
you just might see one of those trains go past
