            Class 117 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) 51353 basks in the winter sunshine at Swanwick, Midland Railway Centre, 22nd February 2009. 

Vehicle History
On the 16th October 1958 the British Transport Commission placed an order with The Pressed Steel Co., Linwood (Paisley) to build one hundred and twenty three vehicles of the standard Derby high-intensity design for Western Region London area suburban duties, these became class 117. Delivery commenced in November 1959, with the final 117 set delivered a year later in November 1960. Interestingly although nominally a three car set only thirty nine trailer vehicles were built for forty two pairs of power cars. Although ungangwayed when built, these were added later and by 1965 at least four sets had had them added to allow them to be formed into three or four car sets with the addition of a number of  converted locomotive hauled stock. From about 1968 the rest had the corridor connections added. With the introduction of the Networker Turbo DMU’s (class 165/1) in 1992 the class 117 units were displaced from there London suburban duties and 51353 would be transferred to Haymarket for peak Fife suburban duties. Withdrawn in the autumn of 1999, displaced by class 170 Turbostars it was sent to store at Perth and moved south in March 2000 for another period in store at Shroeburyness before purchased for preservation in 2004. 51353 was purchased by Dorset County Council who wished to obtain three 3-car sets for a proposed community rail link between Swanage and Wareham and was moved to a private site in Dorset where all nine of vehicles were being stored. However in 2007 the site had to be cleared six of vehicles including 51353 moved to the Midland Railway, Butterley for storage. By 2011 it was understood that Dorset County Council would no longer be proceeding with the plan to operate the vehicles, and 51353 was sold and found a new home on the Wensleydale Railway in 2012. By 2014 the group had decided not to restore the vehicle and placed it up for sale and in 2015 it was bought by a local community group who have converted it to a static “community hub”.
