51131 Class 116 DMBS

51131 was delivered to the Western Region in August 1958 partnered with 59441/51144.

It was always a Tyseley car after transfer from Newport when the Newport valley lines closed.  It was withdrawn from Tyseley in the summer of 1993 with no 1st gear on one gear box as its only obvious fault.

It is preserved on the Battlefield Railway. It attended the Railcar50 event at the Severn Valley Railway.
