The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 27th December 1980
For many years it was common for Glasgow Works to despatch overhauled DMU vehicles to Edinburgh in the consist of the daily parcels train from nearby Sighthill parcels depot. On 27th December 1980 there seems to have been a mistake and one of Hamilton depot’s class 107 sets (59782 + 52021 visible) arrived. I can only assume that 40161 was being used to return it to the correct destination, seen leaving Haymarket station. Possibly one of the last workings for 40161 as it was withdrawn 2 days later. Murray Liston.

107 437 rattles through Waverley Gardens on approach to Edinburgh Waverley. Probably on a working from Glasgow Central via Shotts, circa June 1986. If in the proper formation the vehicles should be 51998 + 59782 + 52021. Roof detail (the centre row of roof vents doesn't go to the rear and no water filler pipe) shows that the DMBS is closest to the camera. Andrew McConnell.
