Can we be sure that this image is a Class 112? IIRC the 112s and 113s had a 4-position headcode in the roof dome, not a two-position headcode in the cab front. It's certainly a Cravens unit, but I suspect that it's either a Class 105 or Class 106. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:55, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. I'm just going by Commons cats here Andy Dingley (talk) 13:24, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've found a book with diagrams

Golding, Brian (1995). A Pictorial Record of British Railways Diesel Multiple Units. Chinnor: Cheona Publications. pp. 66, 72, figs. 145-6. ISBN 1-900298-00-7. {{cite book}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)

and apparently it was only cars M51731-80 (i.e. class 113) that had the four-character headcode; M51681-730 (class 112) had the two-character like this photo - and they were allocated to Cricklewood after 1967. But the two-character box was also applied to the later Class 105 cars: 50249, 50752-817, 51254-301, 51471-94, 56412-83. So it could be correct after all. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:50, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
