RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 25, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2017 I recently purchase a Graham Farish Class 101 DMU in BR Blue and I was hoping it would be a Leeds based example to run on my forth coming S&C layout. I noticed that they are numbered M50325, M59118 and M50307 but I've discovered that they were allocated to Tyseley (TS) but not sure when. Can anyone shed any light on their workings and how far they travelled? If they only worked in the West Midlands area, did any similar sets work at Neville Hill (NL) or Newton Heath (NH) and possibly travelled over the S&C?

Julian Sprott The Met Cam triples were Tyseley staples before the Cross City line was inaugurated in the late seventies and the route went over to Class 116 suburban units with doors at every bay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted July 25, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2017 That set was a long term West Midlands resident. It was delivered originally to Stoke then regularly worked out of Walsall Ryecroft and Monument Lane before Tyseley. I'm not sure what happened to it after Tyseley if anything.

giz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Roger Harris has them at Tyseley (renumbered 4/83) then: 53325 - CH 12/83, NH 11/5/86 CF 10/5/87 (cancelled) CH 29/11/87 CF 14/5/89 wdn 21/9/89 53307 - CH 3/85, NH 11/5/86 CH 29/11/87 wdn 5/5/89 50307 (55307) was refurbished 7/81 and 50325 (53325) was refurbished 5/83 which would probably have been when they were painted blue/grey I don't yet have the volume that includes non-driving trailers, must get it ordered.

I apply the 3ft rule when modelling and like you, if I can't notice it at over 3ft, I don't worry about it. I have the Graham Farish sound Class 108 which I know worked over the S&C as that particular set was based at KM; but I was hoping that a NL based Class 101 might have worked over the line at some point.
