A GRC&W Cross-Country DMU seen in Birmingham Moor Street at 3.03pm on 13 January 1962 after arriving with a local service. Michael might have taken this image if it was the first yellow panel he saw - this was a very early application. Looking at the shine on the cab corner, only the lower half of the cab has been painted, the green having to be applied to cover the whiskers which spread wide than the yellow. Michael Mensing.

1966
In the mid 1960s, a Tyseley based Gloucester RC&W 'Cross-Country' set was scheduled to work what was known in the Chester/Wirral area as "the Leamington" - a Leamington Spa - Birkenhead service which - prior to be taken over by one of these sets - had usually been hauled by a "Hall" class 4-6-0 as far as Chester. One of these sets is seen here passing Port Sunlight in 1966. The style of the yellow panel shows that the last repaint had taken place at Swindon. David Faircloth.
