Set number: C200

51176, 59793 & 53664(349) leave Edinburgh Waverley with 1424 service to Glasgow Central on the 9th August 1986. Graham Johnston.

1986

Set number: C200

Set C200 comprised an almost studiously mismatched combination of Class 101 DMBS 51176 in Blue / Grey, a Class 107 centre car in Strathclyde Orange (presumably 59793) and a Class 105 in plain BR Blue. Taken at Glasgow Central in late 1986, when the Class 107 power cars were out of use with axle problems and the ScR collected a variety of vehicles from around the country as substitutes. Andrew McConnell.

19th November 1986

Set number: 349

The 11:15 Glasgow Central - Largs service arrives into Kilwinning station on the 19th November 1986, 51176 leading. The taped-on set number reads 349. It's a hybrid set, with 107 centre car 59793. Hamish Stevenson.

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

Date: 1986

Set number: 349

With a handpainted set number (349) and Bangor just showing on the blinds, this 120 departs on the back of the set from Johnstone. The centre car is a Strathclyde liveried 107, and the leading car is a blue / grey 101. Also of note is one of the large side lights is missing about half way along the 120 car. The vehicle numbers should be 53664 + 59793 + 51176. Andrew McConnell.

Date: 9th August 1986

Set number: 349

53664 at the rear of the 1424 to Glasgow Central leaving Edinburgh Waverley on 9th August 1986. (with 51176 and 59793) Graham Johnston.
