4-TC set 410 arriving at Lydd Town. 29.12.1993.
Restored to BR blue livery with half yellow ends class 438 (originally class 491) 4-TC set 410 is seen crossing Lydd Town Level Crossing while leading the Hertfordshire Railtours 'Trans-Marsh Link' railtour down the freight only Dungeness branch. The train was run using sets 410 and 417 which carried their original BR(S) unit numbers. These numbers were carried until the stock was reclassified and entered on the TOPS system to become class 438 stock. Set no.410 then became 8010 and 417 became 8017. Network SouthEast retained the two sets as charter train stock as they were very versatile units being compatible in push-pull mode with class 33/1 and 73/1 locomotives or simply loco hauled as they were fitted with ETH sockets and jumpers for train heat. On this occasion the train engine out of sight was 33 116.
