DMBF no.51783 is at the rear of a Cross Country set (51792/59683/51783) making a smoky exit from Inverness on the 17.37 to Aberdeen on 1.7.78. Beyond is 08 738 marshalling the stock for that evening's Royal Highlander to Euston. The unique coaching stock type of DMBF arose when the small area of second class seating ahead of the guard's compartment on these DMBC's based at Inverness was converted to extra mail and parcels space for Inverness - Aberdeen services.
