975014
12th August 1969
The grounded body of Derby Lightweight 975014 (ex-79252) at Dundee West shed on 12 August 1969. It was being used as a staff mess room, by 1971 it had been reunited with its bogies and moved to Craigentinny, again as a staff mess room. David Mant.
29th November 1980
Former Derby Lightweight DTCL DB975014 is sandwiched between a BR Mk.I catering vehicle and a Swindon 'Intercity' power car at the Mayer Newman scrapyard at Snailwell on November 29th 1980. It appears to have blacked out windows and an unusual style of number. Apparently after withdrawal in 1967 it (along with similar car DB975013), was used as Staff Mess coaches. A contemporary report at the time (Pennine Railway Society who visited Ely in November 1980), suggested that DB975014 was the last remaining original BR Green liveried DMU car on BR. There seems to be some mystery with this particular car, as DB975013 appears in some Ian Allan DMU books under 'Departmentals' in the early 1970's, however there is no reference to DB975014. However, according to the website 'Departmentals.com' the car had spells at Dundee and Edinburgh Craigentinny Depots as a Staff Mess facility. Martyn Hilbert.
999510
13th July 1965
Black Five 44832 towing inspection saloon ADB999510 at Crewe on 13.7.65. It was taken on a cheap Ilford camera but a rare image of the vehicle that started life as M79649. Alan Grange.
16th July 1967
M79649 was a DTC which had been converted to an inspection saloon for the LMR soon after being built. By June '67 it was at Shields electric traction depot, no doubt for use in conjunction with the South Clyde electrification, and renumbered DB999510. It is seen here the following month, parked in a siding at Carstairs, on the 16th July 1967. Graham Johnston.
