The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 7th June 1983
Set number: 358
M51567, Sc59060 & M53926 at Dunfermline, Tuesday 7th June 1983, about to depart with the 19:47 Edinburgh Waverley – Cowdenbeath service. I considered this unusual during a visit to Scotland in June 1983, a 3 car DMU comprising two Class 108 motor cars (on loan from Chester) sandwiching a Metro Cammell trailer. What made it unusual was the centrally mounted headlamp on both motor cars which indicated that they had come from those sets so equipped to work the Central Wales Line. At this time the station nameboards simply read “Dunfermline” but the platform lamps confusingly still showed the station’s former name of “Dunfermline Lower”. Nowadays the station is known as “Dunfermline Town”. The local council, having devoted considerable energy in changing every road sign from “Town Centre” to “City Centre”, requested that the station be renamed “Dunfermline City”, which was abandoned as the cost pr Brian McDevitt.
Date: 7th June 1983
Set number: 358
This shot of Set 358 was taken at Inverkeithing on the morning of Tuesday 7th June 1983. M53926 (with SC59060 + M51567) sets off on the climb to the Forth Bridge with the 08:38 Kirkcaldy – Edinburgh Waverley service. Brian McDevitt.
Date: 8th June 1983
