Class 108 DMU at Buxton

3rd October 1986

Set number: BX492

Having climbed the incredibly steep banking next to Buxton Shed something I did only once! this is the result, a fine view of class 45/0 locomotive 45033 (D39) with one of the White trade marked Buxton class 108 dmus sticking it's nose out of the shed. 3rd October 1986. Andrew J Crowther.

Class 108 DMU at Prestatyn

2nd July 1989

Set number: CH374

Two Class 108 sets (a three-car and a two-car) arrives into Prestatyn on 2 July 1989. Leading is DMBS 51935 as part of set CH374. John Carter.

Class 108 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

3rd February 1990

Set number: LO350

Stratford-upon-Avon used to see a lot of day excursion traffic. This time exposure shows Longsight allocated LO350 (presumably 51935/59388/51927) + LO349 standing in platform 2 awaiting departure time before returning to Blackpool on 3 February 1990. For those interested, the exposure on 100asa transparency film was 12 seconds at f8. I always took several exposures when shooting after dark to try and ensure that there would be at least one with the correct light and shadow balance. It's much easier (and cheaper) with digital hardware! Peter Tandy.
