The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 15th March 1981
At the west end of Haymarket depot on 15.3.81 sit two hybrid class 105 triples. On the left, freshly-outshopped from St Rollox in blue/grey and complete with ScR six-figure unit number (105 37x), is 51481/59567(cl.101)/51477, while further back, apparently on loan from Newton Heath, is 50782/59159(cl.104)/50789. See the comments in the caption to the photo of 55000 and others from the same occasion about the ScR's application of blue/grey to 105's. Notice too how the home-based unit contains two DMBS's : this was a result of the Region's policy in the 1970's of standardising on triples. Driving trailers from former two-car units of classes 101 and 105 were swapped with the Eastern Region for class 101 centre trailers and DMC's. However, this left the ScR with an excess of class 105 DMBS's which had to double up in triples for a while. Leonard Rogers.
Date: circa mid-1982
Set number: 126412
DMUs stabled in Kyle Street Sidings (which was next to Ayr station) circa mid-1982. On the left is Met-Camm set 101335 with 59567 and 51804 visible, they face a Class 107. On the right is a Class 126 with 51042 closest. John Horne.
Date: 17th November 1986
Set number: 101323
53148 is the rear vehicle (closest) on set 101323 arriving at Saltcoats with the 14:15 Glasgow - Largs service on November 17, 1986. It is a mixed livery set, the leading car (furthest, presumably 51224) is in Strathclyde colours, the other two in blue/grey. The centre car is presumably 59567. Hamish Stevenson.
