A Class 116 set at Loughor on April 11, 1992, with 51141 of set C391 closest, its partner should be 51128. John Carter.
Towards the end of their careers, DMU sets were thrown together with whatever was available. Class 116 DMS number W51141 is nearest the camera, but the centre car was a class 108 and the DMBS was M53071 (again class 116) when seen at Temple Meads on 14th May 1993. Sean Lancastle.
Two Derby suburban three-car sets head for Lichfield City away from Wylde Green station in July 1974. At the front is set TY533, led by 51142 and presumably with 59439 + 51129. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMUs were the commonest sets found in the West Midlands with Tyseley having a large allocation. In this picture from Kidderminster taken on 7 May 1988 set T325 formed of 51142 + 59757 + 53060 was approaching Kidderminster station with a Worcester to Birmingham New Street service. The background has changed since this date with the Severn Valley Railway having built various structures including a large carriage shed on the land on the right hand side. Peter Tandy.

A Derby suburban triple DMU in Birmingham New Street circa late 1960s. M51143 seems to be the closest vehicle, displaying set number 337 in the cab window, and lots of staff members standing around chatting. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Newly painted class 116 set TS624 (presumably 51143 + 59615 + 51130) approaching Small Heath with a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon train on 22 March 1986. I never felt entirely comfortable in this location if no other photographers were present as there was a bit of a dodgy pub immediately to the left of the road bridge but on this occasion there wasn't an issue because 2 steam-hauled workings were working away from Birmingham... Peter Tandy.
One feature of many of the old 1st generation DMUs now sadly lacking with the new stock was the forward view, or as in this case, rearward view. Here the view out of the rear of class 116 no. 51143 is seen just after passing Lifford West Junction and just before arriving at Bournville on the way from Redditch to Birmingham New Street, 26/Jul/1991. Robert Chilton.
One feature of many of the old 1st generation DMUs now sadly lacking with the new stock was the forward view, or as in this case, rearward view. Here the view out of the rear of class 116 no. 51143 is seen just after leaving Northfield on the way from Redditch to Birmingham New Street. Points of note are the unit set number board in the secondman's window, the driver's copy of the 'Mirror' from the outbound journey and, unusually, a second set of driving controls lying on the desk. 26/Jul/1991.
