Set 199
These formations have been noted:
| 50254 | 59303 | 50144 | Noted 26/08/1979 - BLS Tayside Railtour |
July 1979
Met-Camm set 199 arrives in the Fife station of Kinghorn in July 1979. 50144 leads, presumably with 59303 + 50254. Alan Rintoul.
26th August 1979
On 26 August 1979 the Branch Line Society ran a tour from Dundee to Brechin. This line closed to passengers in 1952 and eventually to all traffic in 1981. In 1993 a small section of the line at the Brechin end opened as a preserved railway. I believe the formation of the train to have been 50254 + 59303 + 50144. Jeremy Chapter.
26th August 1979
Met-Camm DMU 50144 + 59303 + 50254 at Brechin with the Branch Line Society 'Tayside Railtour' on August 26, 1979. Jeremy Chapter.
26th August 1979
The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning, 26 August 1979. Here the Class 101 DMU (50144 + 59303 + 50254) sits at the platform awaiting the return journey. The station is now part of the Caledonian Railway Preservation Society. Alistair Ness.

Class 101 (50254 + 59303 + 50144) at Brechin on 26 August 1979. The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning. Here we are at the buffers of what is now become Caledonian Railway Preservation Society's nicely restored station. Alistair Ness.
29th November 1980
Weak winter sun barely lights Met Camm set 199 (50144 leads) as it departs from Cupar forming 2L36 1125 Edinburgh to Dundee on 29th November 1980. The goods yard is still intact at this point complete with provender goods shed and a couple of 12t vans. The town was formerly the county town of Fife and the agricultural nature of the surrounding district, together with the nearby sugar beet factory, would have brought much freight traffic to the station. As with much of the network, the freight facility has given way to the inevitable carpark although at least the signal box and it's semaphores still control the station. Bruce Galloway.
