circa 1960
A 117 or 118? This negative was just marked as circa 1960. It shows a suburban set with Didcot on the destination blind and is thought to be on the line from Oxford, possibly at Radley. Round buffers were unusual at this time, and only the DMBS is lined. Pressed Steel tended to put the coaching crest under the fourth large window - as in this example, GRC&W would put it one bay further back under the two half windows. Stuart Mackay Collection.
