BR Swindon Works built Class 126 DMSL SC79164 is seen dumped in Ely Station Goods Yard on the 24th June 1978.

24th June 1978
Stored in Ely Goods Yard, Cambridgeshire on the 24th June 1978 CL126 DMBS SC79157 had already been out of service for nearly 6 years. Some stripping of the vehicle had been undertaken but the presence of Asbestos Insulation has so far left it fairly intact. Operational from February 1957 until October 1972 she had called Leith Central MPD in Edinburgh home for all her service life as can be seen by the 64H shed code still clearly stencilled on her drivers side sole bar. Eventually towed to Mayer Newmans Yard at Snailwell she had been scrapped by June 1983. Bob Woolnough.

She spent her working life, September 1956 to October 1972, at Leith Central MPD, Edinburgh before being dragged to Ely en route for storage and eventual disposal at the local Mayer Newman's Yard and had been dispatched through their firing tunnel at Snailwell by August 1983.
