circa 1959
A new Blue Square Derby Lightweight (later known as a Class 108) at Derby Works - from BTC 'Transport Age' magazine, 1959. It is formed from two DMCL vehicles - possibly destined to become an ER four-car set? Sets in the Works were used for diesel driver training - could the staff by the cab be on such a course, the instructor having a clipboard? Behind is a Yellow Diamond Derby Lightweight.

circa April 1959
A Derby Works image (negative 59/302) showing the number 2 side of DMBS E51170. The vehicle was new to Stratford depot in April 1959 and would be withdrawn in May 1971 with collision damage (details of the incident unknown). British Railways.
7th April 1959
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative DM4470) showing a new Rolls-Royce powered Derby suburban triple DMU (later known as a Class 125) at Derby C&W Works on 7 April 1959. DMBS E51170 is closest which would be delivered to Stratford depot the following week. Image courtesy of Diesel Unit Preservation Associates. British Railways.
7th April 1959
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative DM4471) showing a new Rolls-Royce powered Derby suburban triple DMU (later known as a Class 125) at Derby C&W Works on 7 April 1959. DMBS E51170 is closest, presumably with E59465 and E51004. British Railways.
spring 1959
A Derby Works image (negative 59/240) showing the cab of one of their units, I'm guessing a Class 108. Taken circa spring 1959, the cab shows signs of use so it does not seem to be a new vehicle. Image courtesy of Diesel Unit Preservation Associates. British Railways.

spring 1959
A Derby Works image (negative 59-366) showing the front end of a Class 127 in (circa spring) 1959. The rear of the print was marked "NOT to be issued". This could be to record the first build with the four-character headcode - the Class 125 on the right which were still in production had the two-character. There was also a change from DMU Green on the 125 to the darker Loco Green on the 127. There is one other important detail on this image - the vehicle is unlined. Derby had not lined any of its suburban vehicles at this point - could the original intention have been for the 127s to be delivered without lining? Then a change of plan meant this print wasn't to be used? British Railways.
circa Aug-59
An official image (Derby Works negative 59/746) of 51615 circa August 1959. British Railways.
Unknown Date
No details with this image. It shows M60092 appearing to be new. The wagon (crane?) on the right is marked 'Derby Loco' so this is probably Derby. Malcolm Clements.
circa February 1960
An official image (Derby Works negative 60/53) showing a new (blue square) Derby Lightweight set in the yard at Derby Works. The DMBS is M51416, its partner is presumably M56271, the pair were delivered new to Ryecroft depot in February 1960. British Railways.
circa July 1960
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative DM9074) showing the front end of a BUT-engined Derby suburban quad set (later known as a Class 115) circa July 1960. British Railways.
1961
A Derby Works image (negative 61/659) showing a final drive casing being removed (or assembled) from a wheelset circa mid-1961. Two vehicles can be seen in the background - Park Royal M56161 on the left and a Cravens on the right. British Railways.

14th May 1962
M79626 and what seems to be M79082 at Derby on 14 May 1962. The two Met-Camm Lightweight vehicles are not multied together, they look ex-works and are likely in a train that will take them back to their home depot of Newton Heath. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Unknown Date
A three-car Cravens DMU on Derby Etches Park depot, date unknown. The destination blind is showing Bakewell. Paul Redmond.
Unknown Date
Not the best quality image, but included as Swindon Inter-City sets must have been unusual at Derby in this era. Date unknown. David Page.
23rd June 1964
My time at Derby Station was not very productive due to the very dull weather. There were however some interesting ex-works machines around such as this Derby built DMU. Also seen is a (probably new) Brush type 4. 23/6/64. David Christie.
Unknown Date
A 3-car Cravens set is seen leaving Derby station in the late 1960s. David Faircloth.
