Here many hundreds of vehicles met their fate including this Laira allocated Class 108 DMBS vehicle 51936, formerly of set 828, which stands at the head of class mates 59382 + 59380 on 14th June 1992 Nigel Mack.

February 1991
The sad sight of 52051 after a fire at Totnes. When I arrived on site she was still blocking the main line, to clear this for continued operations she was unceremoniously dumped clear of the line. After examination it was found No.2 Final Drive had not gone into the correct direction for travel and contra-rotated the engine. Michael Boot.
