1967
I was on holiday at Whitby in 1967 and took a trip down to Scarborough one day. I was surprised to see this Met-Camm unit with a full four character display. My previous sightings of them were either two character or none at all. The leading car is Neville Hill allocated NE51558, followed by two Met-Camm TSL or TCLs, one in revised lining, and a (blue square) Derby Lightweight. Another three or four-car is on the rear; the visible vehicles being Met-Camms. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
