Early Series - British Railways Diesel Locomotives and Railcars

I've only found two issues of these, covering the Red Triangle and Yellow Diamond Derby Lighweights, I'm not sure if there were any more for other units introduced at the time, such as the Met-Camm lightweights.

These are Groups 6 and 7, Groups 1-5 may include the ex-GWR railcars still in traffic, the ACV railcars, as well as early locomotives.

They would quickly be replaced by the 33003 series instructions.

If you have any similar items not featured here, I would be pleased to hear from you.
