Unknown Date

A Met-Camm publicity image of a 2-car "Lightweight" set working a Norwich-Wells service. The location is probably beside the River Wensum near Sennowe Park on the County School to Ryburgh section of the Wells branch, looking north west. Trailer car E79268 is leading. The date will be the mid 1950's given the clean condition of the set which evidently hasn't seen a huge amount of service. Chris Moxon Collection.

A Met-Camm Lightweight set at Birdbrook station in Essex. Undated, the set has revised lining suggesting mid to late-1960s. The DMBS is 79052, the trailer seems to read 79268. Steve Davies Collection.
