RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2016 Interesting to see the blue squares on the buffer beam on the Cravens unit in that last photo. I wonder if many other units had them in that postion in the early blue days? Regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) CH643 CH643 CLASS 101 DMU.JPG I remember travelling on this unit a few times. Half blue/grey and half Strathclyde PTE Orange/black.

Jamesb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm ashamed to say it, but I don't have many pics from 'back in the day' of 'proper' DMUs. Considering how many times I travelled on them and how much I loved them then (and still do now), I have surprisingly little in the way of photos! I need to start checking out my old prints and start scanning any in that I find. As an appeasement to the DMU gods, I offer this one, taken by my brother, at Penzance. No idea which particular 122 it is, but any one who can ID it gets a prize* *No actual prize given ... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signaller69 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Three from the 1980's, a change from blue. Eastfield,(104 325, nicknamed the "Mexican Bean" ) Glasgow Central,( 107 429, Strathclyde Transport ), Manchester Victoria.( E53045 / E54004, South Yorkshire Transport ) App6.jpg Always nice to see a 114 in particular, not familiar with that particular SYPTE livery variation so thanks for posting!

Jamesb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wish the smart phone had been invented when these units were still around. I have some great memories of the odd livery combinations that used to turn up. I recall waiting for a train back from my Grandparents house (nearly always a class 304 EMU), when a two car 108 turned up instead. The leading car was in freshly applied (or so it seemed) BR Blue and the trailer was in 'candy stripe' white/blue, but absolutely filthy. Probably about 1983 ish I'd guess. The Buxton units were always a favourite, firstly the 104's with white cab roofs and then the 108's with white cab roofs AND black window surrounds! Exotic! 128's were always a nice sight to see, just because they were so unusual. Towards the end of the first gen DMUs life, I remember seeing a four car Class 115 at Manchester Oxford Road and a hybrid 101/110 two car. The 110 had a huge hole in the underframe part of the exhaust and the radiator cap was missing as well, so fumes and steam were blasting up from below the platform edge!! Great days. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2016 1980's img729.jpg A Southport to Liverpool Lime Street service at Bootle Junction, Merseyside. img308.jpg Sad end to two units in Queens Road sidings Manchester, now the site of a Metrolink tram depot. The class 104 nearest the camera is the twin set that had one engine removed from each car. It remained the only example of a class 104 unit to be so treated. Hence the branding on the cab front: EXP DMU 352. With regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesb Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So, a quick search through some old photos found these. Ok, Ok, I know some of the pics are a bit ropey, but I was just a kid, man! I'm pretty certain there are more to come, but as to where they are is another story... Unidentifed 101 at Wroxham, 1989. Norwich, 1989. Crown point's Set 66 (I think its 56354 in shot). Stokesby this time, with another unidentifed 101. It's actually Crown Point's set 70 but I don't know the individual numbers. 1989 again. Let's have a change of area! Wilmcote now, probably 1989-91, but I'm not sure. Tyseley set T025, which if the website I've cribbed the info off is correct, meant it was 54039+53003 Finally (for now) a preservation era shot of a class 127 at Butterley. I think this is the erstwhile set 920 (55966+55967) after they had the full yellow ends painted out. Mid 90's I'd guess. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
