Closest is No.Sc51783 (120/1 in blue with small yellow warning panel) then No.Sc59679 (179 in blue), and No.Sc51788 (120/2 in green) & Sc51790 (120/2 also in green). The DMBF seems to have a different shade (or glossier?) of blue in the centre section - was the conversion done after the vehicles had been painted into blue? Hugh Llewelyn.

An official image (2 of 15) from a internal BR photo album titled 'Refurbished Class 120 DMU Pre-Production SC Region'. It shows the No.1 engine under Sc51783, the biggest change is probably a revised exhaust arrangement. To the left of the AEC engine the vertical plate is to prevent oil being sprayed from the fluid flywheel onto the exhaust. This was taken circa June 1977, probably at Wormit goods yard. British Rail.
An official image (4 of 15) from a internal BR photo album titled 'Refurbished Class 120 DMU Pre-Production SC Region'. It shows the rear end of Sc51783 (still fitted with a tablet catcher on the van door), the exhaust silencer on the rear end, and the gangway through to 59683 on the right. Note the 'squared' and oval buffer. The various bits of text tell us this was taken circa June 1977, the C1 completion date and buckeye exam being 11th June, the work being done at 7076 (Glasgow Works). This was probably taken at Wormit goods yard. British Rail.

This was taken circa June 1977, probably at Wormit goods yard. British Rail.

This was taken circa June 1977 in Wormit goods yard, looking south east, the house seen out the windows is in Naughton Road. British Rail.
DMBF no.51783 is at the rear of a Cross Country set (51792/59683/51783) making a smoky exit from Inverness on the 17.37 to Aberdeen on 1.7.78. Beyond is 08 738 marshalling the stock for that evening's Royal Highlander to Euston. The unique coaching stock type of DMBF arose when the small area of second class seating ahead of the guard's compartment on these DMBC's based at Inverness was converted to extra mail and parcels space for Inverness - Aberdeen services. Leonard Rogers.
