Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some photos and informations about
the Mark 1 DBSO and DTC. I really count on your help...

The DBSO is mk2 not mk1 - info on Wikipedia here ==> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_Brake_Standard_Open

What do you mean by Mark 1 DTC?

There was a BSK converted to a Driving Trailer in the 1960s for trials but it quickly ended up in Departmental service.

A lot of Mark 1 TSOs were converted to DTSOs as part of the Bournemouth Line 3-TC/4-TC units in 1966-67/74. More details at the excellent Blood and Custard site - https://www.bloodandcustard.com/BR-3TC-4TC-4REP-Bournemouth-1966.html

The only other Mark 1 conversions were former Class 307 Driving Trailers in the 1990s to Propelling Control Vehicles (PCVs) for Rail express systems. These weren't full Driving Trailers though, simply to allow Parcels trains to be propelled into Royal Mail terminals without needing extra locos.

Would the baggage car driving vehicles on Gatwick express push pull sets count? I suspect not Mk1.

The Gatwick driving cars were driving motors, not driving trailers. But they were Mark 1 - conversions from BR-type 2-HAP vehicles.
