New Jt Route Cumbrian Coast: Carlisle - Whitehaven From Just Trains

TSW is full of compromises so it wouldnt be the most unworkable reskin. TSC and TSW have both suffered from a serious lack of 1st gen units especially those found in north west england other than the 101. Scotland had a right mix in the mid to late 80s partly down to a depot fire.

 

I was looking on the Railcar UK site earlier and although the 107's and 108's were both Derby built DMU's there were significant differences - 107's had heavier (all steel) bodies and bogies plus slightly different window style and a headcode box. Though interestingly it looks like the mechanical equipment was similar so presumably they were slightly less quick off the mark than a 108.

 

North Clyde to Helensburgh Central, so we could get JT's West Highland southern option in the future! 1982/84, perfect timeframe Imo! Back on topic now, guys!

 

Day one, take my money now etc....

 

I get why you said "Pressed Steel " body. It is however, actually the standard Derby design.

 

You're quite right I'm getting my DMUs mixed up, I stand corrected!
In any case, that style of body was very common.

 

Most classes had this style.
