circa May 1956
Two two-car Derby Lightweight sets head out of Newcastle with a Middlesbrough service. The date is unknown, they appear reasonably clean so probably taken soon after delivery (new in March 1956), they were intended for Hexham sevices later in the year. British Railways.

A two-car Met-Camm driver-trailer DMU set in Newcastle on 21 May 1962. Michael noted on the print "possibly the 12:30pm to Hexham". Michael Mensing.

Two of the two-car Derby Lightweight DMUs allocated to South Gosforth depot in Newcastle Central on May 21, 1962. The shed had four twins from new in 1956, one would be withdrawn with accident damage, the remaining three including E79660 seen here would be transferred to Cambridge in June 1965. Michael Mensing.
29th May 1962

A four-car Derby Lightweight DMU - DMC E79512 noted as the closest vehicle - on the freight lines at Newcastle Central on 20 June 1964. Tony Lambert.
26th August 1964
Two ex-works Met-Camm vehicles at Newcastle on 26 August 1964 probably en-route to South Gosforth. What is curious is that the DMCL kept the original lining while the DTCL has the revised lining. At some point there must have been a change over between the two. Could E50138 have been the last to be repainted with the original style, and the other the first with the revised style? Tony Lambert.

17th November 1968
This slide was simply noted as 'between Newcastle Emlyn and Llanyssul'. It is believed to be the Warwickshire Railway Society Central Wales railtour on 17 November 1968, taken on board Swindon Cross-Country 50722 (in green) looking towards a three-car Met-Camm unit (both power cars with BR logos on the cab doors). Stuart Mackay Collection.
circa 1970
A lengthy mixed rake of DMUs is seen entering Newcastle Central station, probably no later than about 1970. From right to left, the vehicles appear to be:- 101 DMBS, 101 DTS(L), 108 DMS(L), 104 TBS(L), 101 TS(L), 108 DMS(L) (wraparound yellow ends extending to driver's door), 101 DMBS (small yellow panel), 108 DTC(L) (green). At the time, the class numbers of the vehicles would have been different, especially the trailer vehicles. Graeme Phillips Collection.
1972
A 4-car set heads away from the camera north out of Newcastle in 1972. Three vehicle are of Class 108, the car second from front is a Class 101 TBS, indicated by its aluminium window frames and different roof vents. Up until the mid-1970s, South Gosforth (GF) depot, Newcastle had a sizable allocation of Class 108 DMUs among others, as well as the more ubiquitous Class 101s. The Class 108s were transferred away around the mid-1970s, replaced by Class 105s cascaded from the suburban services out of London King's Cross, once those routes had been electrified. Graeme Phillips Collection.

24th April 1974
Newcastle Central station on 24th April 1974 and a dmu bound for Carlisle ticks over in the bay platform. The date on the disused water crane on the left can just be made out; 1946 & evidence of post-war investment by the LNER. I think the Newcastle sign still had a Northeastern Region orange background. Pete LG99.
10th August 1974
A Met-Cam DMU captured from a southbound train between Newcastle and Darlington hauled by 40 052, 11 August 1974. Paul James.
