One of Northern's 3-car 150s, 150004, a common sight on Sheffield-Huddersfield services since the December 2022 timetable change, here at Denby Dale. They also turn up a fair bit on the Sheffield-Moorthorpe-Leeds stoppers.

The impressive Denby Dale viaduct is just beyond the far end of the platform,

Northern have six 3-cars, of which -001 and -002 were built as 3-car, while -003 to -006 each have one car from a split-up 150/2 (with gangways each end of the coach) inserted into the middle of a 2-car 150/1 (which don't have gangways at the driving ends). You can see the roof of the centre car is either painted or weathered (or both) differently. 

Former goods shed on the left by the look of it.

I sometimes travel on these and had also noticed the roof of the centre car having different weathering applied - how unrealistic!  I've also noticed that the centre car's cab has blackened windows and things like the windscreen wiper have been removed.  The cab desk is still intact.  The centre car is in a slightly different livery without the blue ends, and it has some extra electrical jumpers on the cab end (presumably for retro-fitted systems like WiFi and CCTV).  One set (150006 I think?) has a name applied under the front end unit numbers.

 

Not my area, but one of these sets would make a nice modelling project for someone.  Bearing in mind the title of this thread, I really should get some photos!

 

Cheers,

The specially re-liveried 158 for the Tour de Yorkshire, August 2015, seen at Bingley, West Yorkshire.  We played a counting game with our foster-daughters when they were little, vehicles had different points (Land Rovers were 10 points, yellow cars 2 points).  Yellow Train won the game automatically, hence why everyone on the platform looked round in surprise as a 3 year old saw this, and shrieked "I WIIIIINNNNN!" loud enough to be heard over the clattering of the engine ;)
