A gathering of First Generation DMU's at Croft Street Sidings at Preston on March 23rd 1986. Surrounded by Class 104's (left), 108s (behind) and Class 127's (right), the Cravens/Gloucester Class 105/100 hybrid two-car set formed of cars M53812 & M53355 had been working Preston to Ormskirk services the previous day. The odd couple had been formed when the pair of cars were the last operational examples of their respective types that were asbestos free. When finally withdrawn from service in 1989, the unit was stored at Crewe South pending a move to the NRM, but was damaged beyond economic repair in a vandalism attack. The unit was subsequently scrapped by Berry's of Leicester.
