June 1980
Class 108, Silecroft, June 1980. This is one of my favourite DMU photographs and taken quite late in my junior spotting "career". I only wish I had taken it in colour. We were having a few days staying in a caravan in the Lake District on an industrial locos bash and this sight greeted us as we came out of the Miners Arms having had gammon, egg and chips, or was it chicken in a basket (remember those days!) and a couple of pints. All excellent stuff! Alistair Ness.

2nd March 1986
Set: 920
Former Bedford-St Pancras Class 127 Driving cars now with roller shutter doors as M55966 + M55967. The unit was stabled at Croft Street Sidings adjacent to the Preston Power Box on March 2nd 1986. One of 11 similar units converted, Set 920 was finished in retro BR Green livery. The nearest car in this view had been turned-out in green for its last period of passenger service when allocated to Cricklewood Depot. The unit was adorned with a plaque commemorating "The First Unit, 1,250,000 miles, Bedford-St Pancras". Following replacement by new Class 317 EMU's, car M51591 was selected for the National Collection at York, but when BR were short of one car to complete the 11 Parcel Units, the NRM handed the car back for conversion. As a consolation the finished unit (920) was finished in BR Green. Martyn Hilbert.

Set: 910
Stood alongside milepost 0 on what was the old Preston & Lancaster route, a former Bedford - St Pancras Class 127 Diesel-Hydraulic DMU, converted to a Parcels Unit complete with roller-shutter doors, was stabled for the weekend in Croft Street Sidings adjacent to Preston PSB on March 23rd 1986.

A gathering of First Generation DMU's at Croft Street Sidings at Preston on March 23rd 1986.

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 When finally withdrawn from service in 1989, the unit was stored at Crewe South pending a move to the NRM, but was damaged beyond economic repair in a vandalism attack.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. Martyn Hilbert.

October 1986
Class 114 DMUs in Eastcroft Sidings, Nottingham, in October 1986. Apparently the DMU is parked so far down the siding as it was a shorter walk to the 'Magpie' pub. This area is now the DMU Servicing Shed for East Midlands trains. David Page.
