Class 405

The class 405 EMU's (4SUB) were introduced between 1948 and 1951. The original 4SUB's were introduced in 1941 and were distinguished from later versions by their rounded canvas roof - class 405's have a three-panelled flat front.
The original 4SUB's were nicknamed Sheba's as 'The Queen of Sheba came with a very great train'.
