Class 104s in BR Service
A collection of images featuring over 40 years of BRCW Class 104 vehicles in use on the main line from 1957-2000
The aim for this part of our website is to collect and display as many images as possible of Class 104 Diesel Units during their main BR career. This covers the period from introduction in 1957, through 35 years of daily service, ending in some scrap yard scenes, where 289 of the 302 vehicles ended their days. The collection, standing at over 500 images, is now believed to be the largest online resource for Class 104 images; but without the generous permission given by the photographers it would be nowhere near as interesting and comprehensive. The group appreciates their permission to have their record of these trains used here.
Images added recently are highlighted yellow.
Pictures of vehicles are sorted by their number, the powered vehicles being split over the first five galleries due to the number of them. Powercars are numbered 50XXX. Driving trailer vehicles and centre trailer vehicles each have their own galleries and are numbered 56XXX and 59XXX respectively. Due to renumbering, vehicles numbered 53XXX and 54XXX are listed in the 50XXX & 56XXX sections.
