THE PROTOTYPE
Swindon-built DMUs, including the Class 123 and 124, had a structure and internal construction with much more in common with BR Mk1 coaching stock than they do with many DMU classes. The carriage underframes were standard main-line 63 ft 6 in frames, as opposed to the 57 ft 0 in frames common to most 1st generation DMUs. The units were provided with Mk1-style “Pullman” gangways instead of the “British Standard Gangways” fitted to most contemporary DMUs of the period. It was also unusual for a first-generation DMU to sport a front end gangway. None of these units have made it to preservation.
