Took a visit to the park next to Acton Depot and was very surprised to

any information about them?

forgot to mention the photos are now online athttp://www.tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/

I noticed a complete train of 1962 stock at West Ruislip which is in
such a state that it is actually green. The one in this photo looks
in a much better condition.

Presumably not painted green then?? There is a pilot train in the
depot there which i think is 1962 stock, there is also a preserved
unit courtesy of the Cravens group. But I am not aware of any other
being in existance unfortunately. There used to be one at Ongar but it
had to be scrapped after the local scrotes got at it!

No, just mouldy, or whatever can possibly happen to aluminium alloy.
It doesn't look as if it's being used, and it's a full train worth (ie
two units).

Those have been there for years; I seem to remember a sign on one of
them, in a side window I think, saying 'Test train', though exactly
what it was used for testing I don't know.

A couple of weks or so ago, on the way to Birmingham I noticed that
the white lights on the front end were turned on, so it isn't totaally
dead.
