17th August 1989
Set number: 432
The DMU sidings at Haymarket depot at 16:55 on Thursday 17th August 1989. From left to right: a Met-Camm, a 108, two Class 107 centre cars, Met-Camm, 156. The closest Class 107 centre car has the set number 432 on the end, and is presumably 59800. Colin Brooks.

Date: 19th April 1981
Set number: 138
Class 107 DMU set 138 with vehicles 51992 + 59800 + 52026 arrives into Glasgow Central on 19 April 1981, the marker lights already changed to red for the return journey. 87016 lurks in the background. Derek Hoskins.
Date: 13th June 1984
M53565 is the leading car in this 6-car set (presumably with 59800 + 51992) running into Haymarket station with the ECS for the 06:52 Edinburgh Waverley - Glasgow Central on the 13th June 1984. Hamish Stevenson.
Date: 8th July 1984
Set number: 313
One of three images taken at Elderslie on 8 July 1984 - it is unclear what the original order was (see comment!). In this view, two Class 101s - set 313 leading (51239 closest with its higher than normal vehicle number) and a Class 107 vehicle at the rear of the 2nd set - passes another six-car formation in the siding on their way from Glasgow to Ayrshire. This contained DMSL SC52026 from set 107432 working with two 101 vehicles, and a 104/107/107 combo thought to be 53565 + 59800 + 51992 - the latter two being the rest of 107432. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Date: 8th July 1984
Set number: 107432
One of three images taken at Elderslie on 8 July 1984 - it is unclear what the original order was (see comment for image 33546). In this view, a six-car formation in the siding contains DMSL SC52026 from set 107432 with two 101 vehicles, and a 104/107/107 combo, thought to be 53565 + 59800 + 51992. The engines are being revved up, but there is no sign of smoke from the closest car or the 104, that and the Class 47 could be signs that this train had been a failure. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Date: 8th July 1984
