Buying Desination Blinds

[LilLoaf]

hi all

Does anyone know where i can get any of Northern's desination roller blinds, i here there are some small railway shops that sell them but not sure where.

Not bothered what unit they are from.

Yeah i know i did find some old bus ones on ebay.

They are really quite difficult to track down. I thought there would be loads around from scrapped 101 units but there arn't any. I'll have to keep looking around, but if anyone does see any, please let me know.

Has anyone actually got any they don't want ?

Best place to look is a stalls at galas/open days etc. I've picked up 2 blinds (one from a 101, another from a 141) at sales stands. Before you ask, they are not for sale! I have already had a 101 DMU cab owner after one of them!

OK thanks i'll keep a look out for them.

I obtained one off a 310, and another one off a 455 at Barrow Hill Roundhouse Open Day a few years back. As others have said, these are normally the best places to find them!
