Here's the next half dozen.
Battersea Exhibition. 8 October 1960. Motor Bogies. First one has GEC Motors. I believe it was Yorkshire Dave who suggested that these photos could be at the Battersea exhibition in 1960. (If I'm incorrect, Dave, please let me know, and apologies) Out of interest I tried to find details of this exhibition on line but the only one I could find is dated 28th - 30th June 1957 and bearing in mind that most of the exhibits in these photos were not built then the 1957 date is too early. (There's an interesting short video of the 1957 exhibition on
) I simply can't find info on an exhibition with these vehicles present.
Battersea Exhibition. 8 October 1960. SC61838 - E3041.
DMU. Windsor & Eton Central? Date Unknown. c1960. Yorkshire Dave suggested: Possibly Windsor & Eton GW. It's a Western Region unit and you can see the S and & on the nameboard through the DMU windows. The lettering spacing looks to fit WINDSOR & ETON CENTRAL. The SR station was WINDSOR & ETON RIVERSIDE.
Electric Test Train at Chorleywood Station 12.40 to Rickmansworth. 21 August 1960.
Electric Test train to Rickmansworth. 20 August 1960. Electric Test train to Rickmansworth at Cattle Bridge (probably Chorleywood). 4.17. 3-car T Stock. 2753 - 9730 - 2747. 20 August 1960.
Great Missenden Station. c1961. Looks like a horsebox behind the station but I've no idea of its origin.
