Do you have any you can add?
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: circa July 1970
There were no details with this negative other than being Huntly station. It's taken out of a Swindon Cross set, of which the power car nearer the rear is still in green livery. Attached to the back is a Met-Camm TBSL set, the far power car in blue, the closest seems to be green, the centre car is hard to tell. Inverness only had one TBSL Met-Camm, 50186 + 59080 + 50187 on loan from Hamilton between June and September 1970. Note the two BRUTES and at least four trolleys lined up on the left platform, a sign that a lot of mail/parcels was carried - the reason for the Class 120 DMBF conversions. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Date: March 1974
A Class 101 (with a TBS that is probably 59080) and Class 105 formation pass Class 303 units in the sidings outside Glasgow Central in March 1974. John McIntyre.
Date: March 1974
A Class 101 unit departs from Glasgow Central (possibly to Lanark) alongside Class 303 unit no 042 on a Cathcart Circle service in March 1974. The leading DMC is probably 50186 or 50187 and the centre car is probably 59080. John McIntyre.
Date: 18th June 1979
Set number: 220
Class 101 DMU set 220 (SC50159 + SC59080 + SC50194) in Stirling station on Monday 18 June 1979. Dunblane is on the destination blind, yet it is in one of the bay platforms (platform 7) at the south end of the station. David Russon.
Date: circa early 1980s
Set number: 101364
Met-Camm DMU set 101364 with SC50268 closest arriving into Dunblane station circa early 1980s. SC50242 is on the rear, the TBSL is presumably SC59080. Paul Redmond.
Date: circa early 1980s
Set number: 101364
Met-Camm DMU set 101364 with SC50242 closest in Dunblane station circa early 1980s. SC50268 is on the far end, the TBSL is presumably SC59080. Paul Redmond.
Date: 5th April 1983
Set number: 101364
With the roof vents removed from all three vehicles, TBS set 101364 (53242 leading, presumably with 59080 and 53268) is seen at Inverkeithing Junction coming from the Rosyth direction with an Edinburgh service on the 5th April 1983. Stuart Mackay.
Date: 31st May 1983
Set number: 101364
Scottish Region Met-Camm trailer brake second sets were not unusual, but four-car sets were. Sc53242 leads 101364 south through Lancaster on May 31, 1983. The TBSL and rear DMSL are presumably normal long-time partners 59080 and 53268, the set had been transferred from Haymarket to Ayr earlier that month. The additional TSL seems to be 59302. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Date: 1986
Set number: 101364

Set number: 101364
53242 heads set 101364 (with presumably 59080 and 53268) seen at Saughton on the 5th March 1986 with the 14:18 Edinburgh - Bathgate service. Hamish Stevenson.

Date: unknown
Set number: 101364
Two Class Met-Camm DMUs at Thornton depot, date unknown. Closest is 101364 (53242 and presumably 59080 + 53268). Walter Burt.
Date: circa 1988
Set number: 101364
101364, a set allocated to the recently re-opened Bathgate line at the time, passes through Princes Street Gardens circa 1988. 53242, presumably with 59080 + 53268. S Saunders.

Set number: 101364
Different DMUs at Dalmeny. Three different classes of DMU in two trains crossing at Dalmeny in July 1988. On the left is Met Camm class 101364 (53242+59080+53268), while the hybrid set (386) on the right is Derby class 108s 51926 and 53631 sandwiching a BRCW class 110 centre car 59697. Murray Liston.
Date: July 1988
Set number: 101364
I'm on the phone! DMU activity at Dalmeny in July 1988. The driver of Met Camm class 101364 (53242 + 59080 + 53268) is on the phone to control, while the hybrid set (386) approaching on the right is Derby class 108s 51926 and 53631 sandwiching a BRCW class 110 centre car 59697. Identifying power cars on TBSL sets where both are DMSs can be tricky, in this case it is made easier by 53242 having a different radius to the lower left corner of the black mask around the cab windows. Murray Liston.
Date: 11th September 1988
Set number: 101364
The old & the new at Kilmarnock Open Day on 11-09-88.
