Met-Camm DMU set 101317 departs from Edinburgh Waverley circa early 1980s. DMSL SC50747 is closest, the DMBS on the rear is SC51243 and the centre car is presumably SC59048. Paul Redmond.

Class 101 DMBS SC51243 on Dundee depot on 27 October 1979. Behind is its normal partner at the time DMCL SC50747 - the lack of centre car is likely a temporary measure while on depot as power twins in Scotland at the time would be unusual. Brian Daniels.
101317 (presumably 51243 + 59048 + 50747) arrives at Carnoustie with a Dundee service in 1983. John Law.
Class 101 DMU set 101317 (51243 + 59048 + 53747) in Perth station on 16 April 1987. Keith Miller.
Waverley station at 16.14 on 9/5/87 sees the 16.15 to Dundee, on the left, preparing to depart. Alongside is another rake just arrived e.c.s., probably from Haymarket depot. This will form the 16.42 to Cowdenbeath. The leading car on the left is 53290 (forming set 101 302 along with 59303 and 53197) - this set is coupled to 51227/59045/53264 (set 101 305). The leading car on the right is 53747 (forming set 101 317 along with 59048 and 51243) - this set is coupled to 51456/59555/51520 (set 101 330). Leonard Rogers.
