120 DMU

circa June 1976

An official image (10 of 27, negative D766/3381/10) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows one of the seats in the 'front row' behind the cab. The seat has been recovered in a blue/green moquette with vinyl armrests and a plain blue cloth side panel. The lower half of the partition has had a dark blue vinyl applied. The bottom of the partition appears to have extra toe room extending a few inches into the cab (presumably into the boxed section seen in the seventh image in the album) - can anyone confirm this? British Rail.

An official image (11 of 27, negative D766/3381/11) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows a heater thermostat on a wall in a passenger saloon. Vinyl has been fitted behind the luggage racks to protect the formica. There would probably have been a small reading lamp fitted on this portion of luggage rack, no longer needed with the fluorescent lighting. All Swindon-built vehicles had curtains in both first and second class when new. British Rail.

circa June 1976

An official image (12 of 27, negative D766/3381/14) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the interior of DMSL W50674 with a replacement ceiling. I don't have any information on this, but it appears to be made up of pre-formed plastic panels. I don't think this is the CIBA Giegy ceiling, there is another version in images 22-27 in the album (fitted to an Etches Park set). The centre of the panels seem to be suffering from distortion, where the far panel meets the bulkhead the centre is fairly straight, where it joins the panel towards the camera is is fairly curved, the next join less so. The panels are recessed for the two rows of fluorescent lights, which are of a different type from those fitted to other refurbished types. British Rail.

An official image (13 of 27, negative D766/3381/16) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the rear saloon of DMSL W50674 and the replacement ceiling. The bulkhead contain the oval mirrors common on Western Region DMUs, the notice with the arrow indicates the position of the emergency communication chain. Through the open sliding door is the rear vestibule with two toilets, one on either of the inward opening door to the next vehicle. British Rail.

An official image (14 of 27, negative D766/3381/17) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This detail shot inside DMSL W50674 shows the lower portion of the replacement ceiling next to one of the passenger vestibules. British Rail.

An official image (15 of 27, negative D766/3381/18) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows a ceiling in one of the vestibules of DMSL W50674. These were build with a ceiling lower than the saloons, it was flat at the height of the top of the door runners. In this refurbishment this has been retained, but the tungsten lights replaced with two fluorescent lights. British Rail.

An official image (16 of 27, negative D766/3381/19) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling" and is presumably DMSL W50674. This is probably to show the new blue linoleum, but also shows the many floor hatches provided to give access to the underframe equipment. British Rail.

An official image (17 of 27, negative D766/3381/20) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling" and is presumably DMSL W50674. This shows the interior looking from the rear of the vehicle looking towards the cab. British Rail.

circa June 1976

An official image (19 of 27) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the short cardan shaft that joins the 'right-angle drive' on the rear of and driven by the engine to the fan on the radiator. The cup section at the fan end seems to be a revised arrangement with a rubber mount to reduce vibration and preventing the wear of the fan bearing that would produce a distinctive rattle noise. The castellated nuts on the fan are wired together in pairs, sometimes each would have a split pin instead. All the images in the album so far have been of W50674, but this (two of four) does not have a negative number where the others do, so could be a generic image taken elsewhere. British Rail.
