BR Class 101 to 111 DMU's in the Pre-Digital Age
(1986 - 1990)
Volume BRDMU-01
Carrying on with this replacement series, until my archive collection from between the 2000's to the current time is recovered, this feature focuses on the different classes of Diesel Multiple Units, which were being introduced to British Railways from around 1956 onwards up until around 1962. This feature only covers the 1st Generation of DMU, Classes 101 to 111 and were captured on jolly old VHS format all over the Country, just as the classes were being replaced by the more up to date 2nd Generation DMU Classes. Many were built by BRCW, Metro-Cammell and Cravens and at the time of filming , displayed many different liveries. I do hope you enjoy the feature and please comment and like, if you feel the video was of some enjoyment and nostalgia to watch. A Class 116 makes an appearance !
This video explores the history of British Railways' first-generation Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs), specifically Classes 101 to 111, from the pre-digital era between 1986 and 1990. It features footage captured on VHS from across the UK, showcasing these units in various liveries as they were gradually replaced by newer models. The content includes appearances of a Class 116 DMU and references to locations such as Carlisle, Glasgow Central, Ipswich, and Sheffield, among others. The video provides a nostalgic look at early DMU operations and their significance during this period.
