Class 104 DMU at Hull Dairycoates

September 1958

Recently new BRC&W DMUs, E50571 is closest as part of a four-car set, its partners should be 59196 + 59217 + 50550 - they were delivered to Hull Springhead at the end of August 1958, and this seems to be taken at Hull Dairycoates. Stuart Mackay Collection.
