Images:
circa March1958
An official image (Derby Works negative 58-231) showing a new three-car Cravens DMU with M50800 and presumably M59322 and M50767, new in January 1958. Met-Camm M50327 can be seen in the distance to the left, it would also be posed for an official image here. British Railways.
circa March1958
An official image (Derby Works negative 58-233) showing the first class saloon in Cravens DMCL M50800, circa March 1958. British Railways.
circa March 1958
The interior of a Cravens vehicle, Derby Works negative 58/238. This was from a three-car photographed circa March 1958. It has a toilet at the rear left so it is the DMCL or the TSL, the floor hatches suggest it is the power car M50800. British Railways.
