Withdrawn Class 105 DMBS Sc51486 on Newton Heath depot on 1 December 1979. Transferred from the ScR to South Gosforth in April 1977 it was placed in store soon after and withdrawn in April 1978. It apparently went to Tyseley for component recovery and to Newton Heath for bogie removal. It would move on scrap bogies for scrapping at Snailwell. Brian Daniels.
