It's the Spam Cans that want dropping, they rarely sell, whereas the MNs do
trickle out through the shop door.

I'd certainly buy 14s and 17s, and already have a 15, but I wouldn't touch an EMU with a barge pole.

What about a contract, is their any ND clause in that?

So how am I going to buy one from you, then? I assume you'd want to test
it before you sent it to me.
If it's the right sort of EMU (like those that have been mentioned hereabouts recently), I might want two or three. Each.

I wouldn't mind a 4-Cig/Big or two on my BR (ER) layout, because
weren't they the ones built at York?
A train of 2 or 3 newly built units behind a grubby WD 2-8-0 would look quite good.

wouldn't touch
Err, no, perhaps behind a grubby 33 (they could work quite a way up
the southern end of the ECML) or a 31 - the Cig/Big's that you refer
to were built in the early '70's to replace the old central Division
Cor's etc. The Kent Coast and western section stock were built in the
Southern Regions own works shops IIRC.

The 411s/412s were built at Eastleigh, but some 421s were built at York
1964-1965, so *could* have been steam-hauled.

Division
Hmm, but when you consider that they were air braked and that the
33's could work well past Doncaster without the need for a 'pilot' it
seems *very* unlikely seeing that steam was also becoming rare south
of Peterbough by then - more likely that they would have been 33
hauled through out.
Also, going back to the original comment about being steam-hauled, I don't think the WD 2-8-0's worked the southern end of the ECML although the WD 2-10-0's did, until about early '63.

Very unlikely. I've only ever seen reports of the 33s working to York with the Cliffe to Uddingstone (not sure on spelling of either locations) cement trains.

Indeed you did, I also expect that the A4's sell well down in these
parts, but the J39's probably don't, if you see what I'm getting at?

'pilot' it
locations) cement
So the loco's can *work* to York, were the stock in question was
built, but you think that it's unlikely that an air brake fitted loco
would be sent to collect stock for their own region, hmmmmmm...
BTW, for those who don't know, it was one of the Cliffe to Uddingstone cement trains that derailed and thus caused the fatal crash in which the prototype type 4 'DP2' (that became the class 50's) was damaged beyond repair and written off.
