20th July 1983
Test Coach Iris 975010 behind 37260 at Strathcarron on the Kyle Line on 20 July 1983. Note the wire from the cab of the 37 and strung along the side, likely going to the DMU. This was probably part of trials for RETB signalling which was introduced to the line the following year. Lewis Bevan.

circa 1966
Derby lightweight DMU E79252 at Halesworth on the East Suffolk Line. A good view of the end of the adjacent power car. Note that the rectangular exhaust pipe does not meet the pipe on the other side above the gangway as many did. Phil Bevan.

October 1954
A still from a video clip showing a Derby Lightweight cab mock up during a parade in Derby to mark the 800th anniversary of its charter in October 1954. The full video can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL-kuVj5cq0 with this appearing around the 15 minute mark.
Note the glass panel on the side allowing a good view of the interior. The windscreens have the strengthening strips on the inside. Peter Preston.
