A Derby Works image (negative 59-366) showing the front end of a Class 127 in (circa spring) 1959. The rear of the print was marked "NOT to be issued". This could be to record the first build with the four-character headcode - the Class 125 on the right which were still in production had the two-character. There was also a change from DMU Green on the 125 to the darker Loco Green on the 127. There is one other important detail on this image - the vehicle is unlined. Derby had not lined any of its suburban vehicles at this point - could the original intention have been for the 127s to be delivered without lining? Then a change of plan meant this print wasn't to be used?
