Metropolitan Cammell Class 251 8-car "Blue Pullman" dmu (for working “The Bristol Pullman” and "The South Wales Pullman") with the Type 1 1,000hp power car No.W60097 leading, folllowed by W60647, W60737, W60747 (all in the original Nanking Blue & White Pullman livery) and W60744, W60736, W60646, W60096 (all in the revised reversed White & Nanking Blue Pullman livery with all-yellow front end) at the Open Day at Old Oak Common depot, 07/67. The 8-car sets were actually two 4-car sets coupled together, hence two different liveries of this 8-car "set". Note elongated Pullman crest on nose - and no yellow warning panel. Hugh Llewelyn.

Front end of Metropolitan Cammell Class 251 8-car "Blue Pullman" dmu (for working “The Bristol Pullman” and "The South Wales Pullman") Type 1 1,000hp power car No.W60097 leading, in Nanking Blue & White Pullman livery at the Open Day at Old Oak Common depot, 07/67. Note elongated Pullman crest on nose - and no yellow warning panel. Also note the air horns below the buffer beam and the lack of jumper cables. Hugh Llewelyn.
July 1967
Metropolitan Cammell Class 251 8-car "Blue Pullman" dmu (for working “The Bristol Pullman” and "The South Wales Pullman") with the Type 1 1,000hp power car W60096 leading in the revised reversed BR Rail Blue & light grey Pullman livery with all-yellow "Spectrum Yellow" front end. The window band is extended further forward than the previous livery; in addition, the frames & bogies are maroon instead of black. In my opinion, the otherwise very attractive revised livery is spoilt by the all-yellow front end and the loss of the Pullman coat-of-arms on the nose. The set is at the Open Day at Old Oak Common depot, 07/67. Hugh Llewelyn.

Pullman Trailer Parlour First (TPFL) No.W60744 in BR Rail Blue & light grey Pullman livery built by Metro-Cammell in 1960 for the 8-car Blue Pullman dmu's. At Old Oak Common shed Open Day, 07/67. Hugh Llewelyn.

E54205 Class 108 DMU visitor inside Old Oak Common carriage shed. An Eastern region Class 108 2-car DMU seen in the old carriage sheds at Old Oak Common. As it still had its Eastern Region prefix, and Class 108s never worked on Paddington locals, I'm not sure why it ended up here. Note the route destination blind still reading Knaresborough! Chris McKee.
