Although not built by British Railways the Regions that received the vehicles would photograph the vehicles for their records and publicity purposes.

All M55987, the date / location taken is unknown. The negative numbers are in the 1961 series, yet the vehicle is clearly new and so circa December 1959 / January 1960.
