A rail enthusiast has bought a 1970s commuter train that once carried Queen Elizabeth for just £1 – but he needs to raise £10,000 to move it.
Robert Hampton said he feels like he owns a ‘massive Hornby locomotive’ after taking on the three-coach Merseyrail train in September.
The 41-year-old has fond childhood memories of the trains, which he travelled on during trips to the sea and days out with friends in Merseyside.
So when he heard they were to be replaced by state-of-the-art models he decided he wanted to try and save the ‘Scouse icon’.
