circa May 1954
A Derby Works image (negative 54/607) showing West Riding Derby Lightweight DMU E79503 / E79003 on the Wirksworth branch, a line used for test runs of new vehicles and for photographs. In comparison with earlier works images of these vehicles which all had silver engines this pair has black engines. Also the underframe equipment to this side of the nearest engine differs from earlier images (predominately E79500). British Railways.
circa May 1954
A Derby Works image (negative 54/608) showing a West Riding Derby Lightweight DMU. Although a masked image, the view of 79503 + 79003 is at the same location as 54/607 on the Wirksworth branch. British Railways.
circa September 1955
An official image (Derby Works negative 55/677) of a four-car Derby Lightweight DMU posing on the Wirksworth branch circa September 1955. Formed of 79508 + 79325 + 79400 + 79150 the set would be delivered to the North Eastern Region for Newcastle - Middlesbrough services. British Railways.
July 1956
An official LMR publicity image of Derby Lightweight 'bubble car' M79900 circa July 1956, probably taken on the Wirksworth branch. This image was distributed with the press release advertising the Buckingham - Banbury branch experiment. British Railways.
circa September 1956
Derby Lightweight vehicles M79143 + M79656 are shown in this Derby Works image (negative 56/931) circa September 1956 presumably on the Wirksworth Branch as these often were. Neither vehicle is new, and it's a non-original pairing. M79143 is believed to have been new to Monument Lane with M79663 where they spent a few weeks before moving to Llandudno Junction. M79656 is thought to have been new to Llandudno Junction with M79135, and the new date on the end of the vehicle can be read as 14-5-56. British Railways.
circa October 1956
An official image (Derby Works negative 56/834) showing the first Derby Heavyweight set formed E50001/E56001 on the Wirksworth branch. British Railways.
circa early 1957
A Rolls Royce image showing E50000/56000 on the Wirksworth branch circa early 1957, the power car being fitted with their engines. The image was used in a report they produced on cooling and performance tests done between Manchester Victoria-Rochdale and Carlisle-Skipton. Rolls Royce.
circa March 1957
A rare colour Derby Works image showing a brand new Derby Heavyweight set formed of E56035 / E50035 which was new to Lincoln in March 1957. Location unknown, possibly on the Wirksworth branch as these images often were. Colour images from this period were often hand tinted black and white images but the quality in this suggests it was taken in colour. A B&W version does exits (negative 57/142). One thing of note is the gutters - in b&w images these always showed as being darker than the body and the assumption till now was that they were black. Here they are a dark green. British Railways.
circa early 1957
Official image (Derby Works negative 57/603) of 50000 + 56000, likely to be somewhere on the Wirksworth branch circa early 1957. British Railways.
1958
A Derby Works image (negative 58/950) showing a Derby Heavyweight DMU formed of E50003 + E56003 in late 1958, possibly on the Wirksworth branch. The DMBS has Albion engines fitted, but not recently judging by the weathering. British Railways.
