Actually I bought mine repainted in BR blue - years ago for about a tenner - but I modded the ends to make it look more like a Class 101 and picked out the window frames in silver. I still have some bits to finish off but it knows its place in the queue: 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted June 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2022 In the early 90s There was a Barnt Green to Worcester Schools service formed of a 121 single car unit. On one occasion due to a driver oversight came down the bank with all vaccuum and sailed through Bromsgrove to the great amusement of kids on board and greater for the Bromsgrove group - no school that day. Driver story lead to unit being sandwiched between two 3 cars for return to TS for attention. The service was later expanded to feed Bromsgrove inro the cross city service and eventually led into he new station and OLE down the bank as a cheapo(ish) extension. robert 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
