1930's photograph TYNESIDE VENTURE - In 1931 the Diesel Department of Armstrong Whitworth began construction of three heavy diesel electric railcars, which operated under the names of 'Tyneside Venturer', 'Lady Hamilton' & 'Northumbrian'. They were powered by an Armstrong-Sulzer six cylinder 250hp four stroke diesel engine coupled to GEC electrical equipment. This shows the view from the drivers cab of the Tyneside Venture.
