A rail enthusiast has bought a 1970s train for £1 in a bid to save it from the scrapheap.
Robert Hampton, 41, now hopes to raise £10,000 to move the Merseyrail Class 507 train to a museum.
The IT consultant said he had fond memories of day trips on the old trains and wanted to "save piece of Merseyside's history".
The Class 507 trains, first introduced in 1978, are being replaced by the Class 777 fleet.
