Daniel W Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Class 101 101663 - Stockport by dwb photos, on Flickr I'd expect to see a Regional Railways example at some point, the Farish example looks pretty nice in 90's guise. Given the longer life of the 101, Bachmann certainly have plenty of liveries to choose from, compared to other British Railways era DMUs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I wonder if they will do a plain green non wiskered version, Im not sure but think thats pretty rare among rtr manufacturers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted January 13, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I understood these units (LNER 1937 electrics) were disposed of in the mid 1950s being replaced by 2EPBs. The "Tyneside EPB" units, which migrated to the SR after the Tynside lines were de-electrified dated from 1955 (some sources suggest 1954), were used on the South Tyneside lines. Class 101 units entered service from 1956. The photo is dated 1960. The North Tyneside lines as shown retained some of the older units until 1967 when all routes were converted to DMU operation.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted January 13, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2013 Saved me the bother, Gwiwer! The 2-EPB's only ran to South Shields, on the south side of the Tyne. That photo is priceless to me.....but I was only 1 at the time! My fantasy layout is there in colour!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted January 13, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2013 While I'm thinking about it, nice contrast in the colours of the units, on the same emulsion..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the penguin of doom Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 That was more common than you might think Michael. I also remember some, (if not all), the units had a small handle inside, above the screen to facilitate manual wiping. I was at the front of a Cravens unit in the early 80's from Scarborough to Bridlington and the poor driver had to keep standing up to give the wipers a quick sweep..... The service continued to Hull where I'd expect the unit was taken out of use and the defect repaired. Cheers. Sean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have seen it on some other shots, but will we see anyone reproduce it on their models? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have seen it on some other shots, but will we see anyone reproduce it on their models? I have about 10 units to do over time. I'm sure I'll slip up on one of them..... Cheers. Sean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Interesting livery variation for the blue/grey one: http://www.philt.org.uk/BR/BR-dmu/18250070_f3NBGz#!i=1403802103&k=br335Wv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jim s-w Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Whats interesting about that one (and will need to be double checked by anyone doing it) is that im pretty sure the treatment of the black areas was not the same at either end.

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted March 8, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2013 101s did appear at Cambridge on the Cambridge /Royston shuttle in the mid 80s - but I suspect that's too late for 00ERmissus And on the Cambridge/King's Lynn shuttles (as three car units) during the electrification process 88 (ish)-92. They were in NSE too! Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 According to the Bachmann 2013/14 releases info, the 101 is now in the tooling room, so we should hopefully be seeing a pre-production model soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Interesting haulage in 1995. Can't quite make out what chocolate and cream rolling stock it's hauling.
