Inside a Class 126 DMU

18th June 1959

The toilet in Sc51015 - an 'intermediate' Swindon Inter-City power car (DMSL) built for the Glasgow - Ayr/Girvan/Stranraer route. A Swindon Works image - negative 5CR/138, recorded in the Works photograph ledger as taken on 18 June 1959. British Railways.

Class 126 DMU at Glasgow Central High Level

1980

Set number: 126407

The Way It Was. Swindon Inter-City 126 407 arriving at Platform 11, Glasgow Central High Level on a murky afternoon. Passengers are opening doors for a quick exit on the final vacuum application. The markings and OHLE flashes on the nose of the DMSL suggest this is Sc51015 (see images on Railcar). The short stay car park to the right is gone and has been replaced by Platforms 12 and 13. Trains from these 'new' Platforms now leave via the archway. Undated negative but probably circa 1980. alicia hartman.

Class 126 DMU at Falkland Yard

24th October 1982

Scrapper. Swindon DMSL Sc51029 (nearest) awaits its fate at Falkland Yard, Ayr. The DMBSL visible at the end of the next set is Sc51037, which was subsequently photgraphed. Railcar data suggests that the adjacent DMSL could then be Sc51015. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.
