An official image (2 of 27, negative D766/3381/2) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the ends of centre car W59278 and DMS W50674. The paint date on the buffet underframe is 18/12/75, the power car has a works date of June 1976. Note the exhaust is painted rail blue and only has a grille over the lower part, unlike the DMBC in image 1. The four sets of four studs to the left of the exhaust once held footsteps, normally the bottom one would be left in place. Also note the two different bottoms to the water filler pipes, the one on the buffet signifies that it is for drinking water. British Rail.

An official image (4 of 27, negative D766/3381/4) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the revised engine mounts (with the rubber triangle) at the fluid flywheel end of the engine that were intended to reduce vibration being transmitted into the vehicle. British Rail.

An official image (5 of 27, negative D766/3381/5) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the number two engine under W50674, a Leyland 680. The orange sticker on the left rocker cover reads 'Completed and Tested'. British Rail.

An official image (6 of 27, negative D766/3381/6) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the number two engine and other underframe equipment on W50674. The large spring to the left side is for adjusting the tension on the dynamo belts, they connected to the output side of the gearbox. British Rail.

An official image (7 of 27, negative D766/3381/7) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows a heater outlet into a cab on W50674. This is the non-drivers side door, the grille being on the bulkhead to the passenger saloon. The electrical box partly seen contains AWS equipment. British Rail.
circa June 1976
An official image (8 of 27, negative D766/3381/8) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the two controls in the cab for the Smiths heaters on the vehicle. These are the self-contained individual type, the other was a 'through' type using relays to control all the heaters in a formation. This version was also know as the clockwork type, since when the black switch in the centre was rotated it ticked as it slowly rotated back, activating the heater start events at timed intervals. British Rail.

An official image (9 of 27, negative D766/3381/9) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the drivers compartment of W50674. Note the 'Loudaphone' handset for talking to the guard in the foreground. The two sliding knobs above it control the cab heating (hot/cold and direction). Below the ashtray are the horn lever end and wiper control. British Rail.
circa June 1976
An official image (10 of 27, negative D766/3381/10) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows one of the seats in the 'front row' behind the cab. The seat has been recovered in a blue/green moquette with vinyl armrests and a plain blue cloth side panel. The lower half of the partition has had a dark blue vinyl applied. The bottom of the partition appears to have extra toe room extending a few inches into the cab (presumably into the boxed section seen in the seventh image in the album) - can anyone confirm this? British Rail.
circa June 1976
An official image (11 of 27, negative D766/3381/11) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows a heater thermostat on a wall in a passenger saloon. Vinyl has been fitted behind the luggage racks to protect the formica. There would probably have been a small reading lamp fitted on this portion of luggage rack, no longer needed with the fluorescent lighting. All Swindon-built vehicles had curtains in both first and second class when new. British Rail.
circa June 1976
An official image (12 of 27, negative D766/3381/14) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the interior of DMSL W50674 with a replacement ceiling. I don't have any information on this, but it appears to be made up of pre-formed plastic panels. I don't think this is the CIBA Giegy ceiling, there is another version in images 22-27 in the album (fitted to an Etches Park set). The centre of the panels seem to be suffering from distortion, where the far panel meets the bulkhead the centre is fairly straight, where it joins the panel towards the camera is is fairly curved, the next join less so. The panels are recessed for the two rows of fluorescent lights, which are of a different type from those fitted to other refurbished types. British Rail.

An official image (13 of 27, negative D766/3381/16) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows the rear saloon of DMSL W50674 and the replacement ceiling. The bulkhead contain the oval mirrors common on Western Region DMUs, the notice with the arrow indicates the position of the emergency communication chain. Through the open sliding door is the rear vestibule with two toilets, one on either of the inward opening door to the next vehicle. British Rail.

An official image (14 of 27, negative D766/3381/17) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This detail shot inside DMSL W50674 shows the lower portion of the replacement ceiling next to one of the passenger vestibules. British Rail.
circa June 1976
An official image (15 of 27, negative D766/3381/18) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling". This shows a ceiling in one of the vestibules of DMSL W50674. These were build with a ceiling lower than the saloons, it was flat at the height of the top of the door runners. In this refurbishment this has been retained, but the tungsten lights replaced with two fluorescent lights. British Rail.

An official image (16 of 27, negative D766/3381/19) from a internal BR photo album titled "Part Refurbished Class 120 Prototype 1 and 'CIBA Giegy' Ceiling" and is presumably DMSL W50674. This is probably to show the new blue linoleum, but also shows the many floor hatches provided to give access to the underframe equipment. British Rail.
