Fat Controller Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Here's one I favourited from 'The KDH Archive' on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96859208@N07/12748835625/in/faves-79600589@N02/ The scene is Falmouth (now Falmouth Docks) shortly after most of the station had been demolished. There is some superb stuff on the KDH Archive, enjoy! Funnily enough, I can only remember seeing one Swindon Cross-Country in this livery in Llanelli, and it was one of these headcode-fitted ones (were they W515xx?). This variant of the Class 120 was rare down there in comparison with the early style, and the Gloucester 119 sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D820 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Funnily enough, I can only remember seeing one Swindon Cross-Country in this livery in Llanelli, and it was one of these headcode-fitted ones (were they W515xx?). This variant of the Class 120 was rare down there in comparison with the early style, and the Gloucester 119 sets. In 'Branch Lines to Falmouth, Helston & St Ives' by Vic Mitchell & Kevin Smith (Middleton Press), there is a picture Swindon Cross Country DMU No: LA500 at Penwithers Junction in August 1969. My bet is these units are one of the same. I can remember seeing this livery, because it was so unusal, the bulk of the stock at this time was green (SYP) or standard blue (FYE) in Cornwall. The Falmouth line had Swindon units regularly as it had to have the 1st Class facilty, laterly for Golden Rail passengers, although this wasn't introduced until 1971.

'CHARD Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks for the flurry of recent postings, you guys, great to see new life breathed into this thread. Some brilliant contributions from all over the network, sure to fire the modelling juices of many on here who, like me, find multiple unit action essential back in the Transition Era.
