Identity of this DMU?

[MJI]

Anyone know which DMU ran between Cheltenham and Swindon in the 80s ? 101 or a 108 or something else maybe. ??

 

All sorts

 

Bristol 101s B800 to B823 (B820-3 are DMCL TBSL DMCL)

Various 119 and 120 (Mainly Bristol)

Occasionally Bristol 117 and 118

Blue i think... It was so long ago !!

 

Blue

White with blue stripe

Blue & Grey

Chocolate & Cream

My 118 article is pretty poor, but carefull filing and reshaping of headcode box is the main difference from 117, 117 also needs headcode box beefing up.

Bl#### #### Martin, that is one hell of a job well done. Doubt I'll be doing that in a hurry. However, thank you for linking that thread.

Think I'll be cheating with my bog carts, after all, I shall be the only one who will notice. 'Public' pics (if any) will carefully avoid the 'branch' in DMU days except for the Bubble times.
