DMS This alse has had a little more filling since this picture was taken and the roof vents added.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 5, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2013 Won't be able to buy any more bits for it so won't take beyond primer until March.

DMS dms.JPG This alse has had a little more filling since this picture was taken and the roof vents added. Also filled small gap between DMS panels and roof Should these really have those marker lights on the roof? The pictures I've seen (such as on railcar.co.uk) don't show them.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Budgie The first 42 sets had four headcode lights. Many retained these after 1976. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Class+116+DMU&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=MMd&tbo=u&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=FtzpULHlHcuY1AXlwoGoAw&ved=0CD4QsAQ&biw=1360&bih=622 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 They are a couple of quid. Afraid i dont know the part number (or even if charlie uses them). Sorry i didnt mention it earlier as the come with roof domes and headcode boxes. They are a fraction wider but the cab sides need a little bit of re-shaping anyway.

All of the Cardiff sets were also gangwayed. I have hunted for pictures of all the DMUs I am modelling, found some good ones of B465 in overall blue. B435 in blue grey including some video. B430 in GWR150 no shortage there! C301 I found a lovely clear shot. All sets are ones I have seen and travelled in, and they are not all the same, eg my two 116s. C301 gangwayed marker light on roof TS non gangwayed standard roof 115 or 127 trailer A Cheque for £6.00 will cover postage too! I bought the sides from you Charlie, now which ends are they? Tempted to try them for the other 116 I am building. Current progress depends on the findings of MintLPG as they will be checking my ECU over and I don't like buying petrol. Trackrod end and gearbox switch now purchased so not QUITE as worried. Cars are so expensive to maintain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2013 This one didn't have them. Hi Jane With Derby Suburban units if the driving car was fitted with a 2 figure headcode then it would not have the top light as in your link. The first 42 sets displayed their headcode using the light positions as used by steam locomotives and diesels with disc headcodes. After 1976 when displaying headcodes was stopped the centre light under the cab was removed and the hole plated over. The top light was made inoperable but not removed. The later build units with the two figured headcode display had these removed and the area was plated over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Jane DMBS W50050 to W50091 and DMS W50092 to W50133 were the driving cars fitted with four lights when built.
