    From what I can gather, inside were two E44 electric locos, three VT98 railcars and three carriages, including a Mitropa dining car. Third fire in four weeks according to the news report, so looks like they're treating it as arson.

    What possible motive would someone have to burn down this place and its historical vehicles? I hope they get prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be a disaffected member of the preservation group that rent the shed. :(
