999510 (79649) LMR Inspection Saloon

M79649 was a DTC which had been converted to an inspection saloon for the LMR soon after being built. By June '67 it was at Shields electric traction depot, no doubt for use in conjunction with the South Clyde electrification, and renumbered DB999510. It is seen here the following month, parked in a siding at Carstairs, on the 16th July 1967. Graham Johnston
