The pedal bike without a Chain?

 Bar and Cogs!

The Netherlands has come up with a cleaner bicycle, that has no chain and the Brick is much lighter stronger and in demand more so than when it came so popular one hundred years ago?

There have been many attempts made to do something new and yet this is one of if not the best yet? At the moment price is its hold back but in the years to come with the continues push for green energy it will become more affordable and many chin bikes will end up in museums?

Much more is coming our way with the push pedal power, which could lead to short distant travel using this new system, depending on weight!

Coaching Stock. Part-Two.

Mark.1 Improvements.

In 1964 a new improved body stock was introduced, known as the XP64. Many improvements were made with new seat designs, ventilation, corridor partitions and the introduction of aluminium. This class only survives today in preservation, but in 1963 it was the basis for the Mark.2 stock.

The Mark.2 stock had fluorescent lighting and pedal bin toilets with all of what the XP64 had. These were built between 1964-66 and laid the way for the Mark.2A-2C stock, these were similar but they again made improved changes in seating layouts now moving away from the old to the new types that are used today.

Again Mark two coaches were passed on to N-Ireland railways and some sold to CIE-Ireland.
