DMU

Date: circa early 1970

Derby Lightweight DTCL M79656 stored at Ipswich loco shed circa early 1970. For almost all its life it was an LMR vehicle, it would be transferred from Bletchley to Norwich - probably with 79133 in summer 1967 - it was withdrawn from that depot in October 1967 and would eventually be disposed of to the Bird Group at Long Marston in February 1973. It faces a Met-Camm "Lightweight". Tony Wilkins.
