Class 124 DMU at Swindon Works

×

Details

An official photograph (Swindon Works negative 5C/316) showing the inside of a Trans-Pennine cab during construction at Swindon Works on 9/4/60. It shows the polyester resin cab front - one wonders if their was any structural steel added to protect the driver in the event of an accident? On the steel floor (formed of corrugated 'key sheeting') can be seen the brackets to which will be attached the rear cab bulkhead. In the steel plate at the front of the floor the black rectangular object is an outlet for the heater ducting.
