Set: 126403
Recently withdrawn Swindon Intercity DMUs were boarded up (due to asbestos contamination) and dumped at Falkland Yard - a short distance from their former home of Ayr Depot - prior to transport to Meyer Newman (Snailwell) for scrapping. Sc51033 was withdrawn from service 3/1982. The Swindon Diesel Preservation Society received permission to remove parts from these units for the preserved Class 126 unit as long as we did not enter the vehicles or remove parts that would affect braking. Behind are two Cravens cars, 51476 and 51474, then Class 126 centre car 59394. Andrew McConnell.

21st May 1983
Set: 105375
Although not officially withdrawn until September 1983 it is highly unlikey that Class 105 DMBS E51301 ever carried any more passengers as it sits vandalised in Falkland Yard, Ayr on the 21st May 1983. Attached to sister Class 105 DMBS E50384 together they had operated together for a short time as Ayr TMD unit 105375. Both vehicles eventually made the long one way journey to Mayer Newmans Yard in Snailwell, Cambridgeshire where they were scrapped in January and June 1984 respectively. Bob Woolnough.
