On may the 14th 1979, was when they introduced the great late 105 two car stratford located ,silver rooved dmu onto north london line ,which ran to camden town and back via north woolwich. Another great feature to have on my model layout. I recall on the odd occasion ,they would use a class 117 dmu from st pancras or marlebone station, but the 105s, were unique in sound, as they rattled, rasp and barped, like no other dmu and that lovely smell of diesel!!. The seating ,what i called cowboy seats out of an old american westen train, second class, fantastic!. Still at least i have the memories and my model.
