circa 1976

Class 101 DTCL SC56395 in the Arnott Young scrapyard at Fighting Cocks (Dinsdale) circa 1976. The cause of the collision is unknown, it would linger here until 1983 when, due to asbestos, it would move to Snailwell for disposal. Stuart Mackay Collection.

23rd March 1980

Sc56395 at Arnott Young, Fighting Cocks, on March 23, 1980. A familiar sight for several years next to the road into Middleton St George was this condemned 101 trailer car. This scrapyard had broken up many steam engines but by this time seemed to handle only occasional items of rolling stock. The site is now a modern housing estate. For a while a SR EMU trailer car resided a short distance away as a dining room attachment to the Fighting Cocks pub John Carter.

30th January 1983

Sc56395 at Thornaby on the 30th January 1983, en-route from Arnott Young Fighting Cocks to Snailwell. As the date painted on the side shows, it had been withdrawn almost ten years previously. The red signs probably warn about asbestos content, a week later the vehicle was still at the depot but all doors and windows were boarded up. Jerry Glover.

6th February 1983

Class 101 DTCL 56395 at Thornaby on 6/2/83. En-route between Arnott Young Fighting Cocks to Snailwell, the boarding had been fitted during the previous week. Jerry Glover.
