With the 25 delayed by cab research the next boxes on the bench will be an Easybuild 105.
the kit has been supplied without wheels and motor and appropriate Slaters items will be used in conjunction with a gearbox and delrin drive. general spec includes split axles on the non driven bogies as its a shame not to benefit from the plastic construction.
If anybody has any shots of the interior or the underframe i would love to see them..

They don't come with the little destination blinds above the front windows moulded in then?

Did they not all have them?

It comes as an etch, and it would seem that not all of them carried the blinds in later life
I have found one nice shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/24041160@N02/3012199035/in/pool-1362082@N24

Well thats the one then M51725.
I believe there is a 105 at Llangollen, might be an excuse to go and take some underframe and interior shots  8)

Sorry if they are not, don't forget I come from where they put the engines above the floor! I stand to be corrected.

Definitely not a 105, it looks like an original Derby Lightweight to me.

Definitely not a 105, it looks like an original Derby Lightweight to me.

Based on the number, it is one of the single car units originally used on the Bletchley-Banbury service, this being the one which went into departmental use as test car 'Iris'.
Front end looks a bit BRCW, I thought, say class 104.
I suspect the photos are of a train made up of a 104 plus Iris.
