977207 & 977208
24 May 2005 - Ben Williams
A rather complicated story regarding this unit number which initially led to some confusion! Simon tells me:
"This would be the original unit that carried that set number, i.e. the M&EE Tractor Unit formed of 977207 and 977208. This was an ex HAP, coach nearest the camera is 977208.
As for 977296, this was originally part of M&EE Tractor Unit 050 with 977297. Around 1993, Strawberry Hill did a reform of several sets, I believe to keep the best vehicles and send the others for scrap. This
involved the above 977296/7 and 977505-8, these latter four vehicles forming units 053/4 (these having replaced the original 053/4 - 977211/12/07/08)
In short, 977296 ended up with 977506 in 932054 whilst the other vehicles in 050/3/4 were also reshuffled to become a 'new' 932053 and two went for scrap."
977207 from the unit pictured here eventually ended up with 977609 as part of 930014 which later officially became 930101. It is thought never to have been renumbered as such however because it is still stored at Ashford today carrying "014" on the front.
Hope thats all clear!!
