A colourised image from a Metropolitan Cammell promotional brochure, showing the interior of one of its vehicles. There seems to be floor hatches in the centre saloon, so this should be a DMCL. Metropolitan Cammell.
A power / trailer set heading away from the camera just north of Monkwearmouth station, sometime in 1959. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A new looking Met-Camm in the un-rebuilt Birmingham New Street, heading for Stafford if the blind is to be believed. Photo by David McIntosh. Ian McDonald Collection.
Met-Camms in Whitby Town station, circa late 1950s. The set on the left is one of the twelve twins which had the mounting plate for the top marker lamp, but no top lamp. Middlesbrough is on the destination blind, and it has the number on the right hand lamp bracket - possibly a diagram number? Delivered in April and May 1957 to Darlington, those twelve sets did not have whiskers when new and it this is a good example of the much straighter NER applied whiskers, contrasting with the factory applied whisker on the vehicle on the right. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Met-Camm DMU formation changes lines as it enters Darlington Top Bank station circa early 1960s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A two-car Met-Camm set with Richmond on the destination blind at Darlington Bank Top station, date unknown. The image was from the Steve Davies Collection. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Birmingham New Street was a very different place in the late 1950's. In this photograph a very new looking Metro-Cammell DMU, later class 101, is just leaving for Lichfield. On the left 10202 is ready to depart for London, it has a been re-liveried from the original black into "Express Locomotive green" although the name, "tin-can", written in the dirt on the side does add an individual touch. Period touches include the signal box and mechanical signals, and the Brylcreemed trainspotter in shorts with his father the background has of course totally changed, if this angle were repeated today the skyline would have the Rotunda in it and the huge white arch over the new Bull Ring shopping centre. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith circa 1959. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
A three-car Met-Camm DMU at Hexthorpe Junction with a Sheffield service, date unknown. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A London Midland Region publicity image showing a Met-Camm DMU after arriving into Lichfield City on a service from Birmingham. Date unknown. British Railways.
A three-car Met-Camm DMU enters Dalmeny station on its way to Edinburgh Waverley, undated but possibly early 1960s. The Forth Bridge can just be seen in the fog. The exhaust shows it is under power, either not stopping here or, since the distant signal is not off, moving into the station after stopping at the home. Stuart Mackay Collection.
