Based on Class 101/2s,
but with different engines. The only external difference
was on the final batch of cars where a four character
headcode box was fitted above the front cab windows, with
the destination indicator on top of a reduced height
centre window.
The first cars built, part of an
order for 339 Met-Camm cars, were 4 power/trailer sets for the LMR
Manchester area built in early '57. One of these was equipped with
supercharged 230hp 6-cylinder engines. This was followed by ten 3-car
sets comprising DMBS/TS/DMC for the NER at Bradford, then a further
twenty 3-car sets.
One car survives,
buffet 59575 on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. |
