Details

On an overcast July 24th 1981, a three-car Metro-Cam Class 101 DMU formed of cars SC50160, SC59074 & SC50158 was stood at Markinch whilst forming a Edinburgh Waverley service. Markinch station was still furnished with British Railways 1950's Scottish Region light blue enamel signage including Totems on some of the lamp posts.

Driving Motor Brake Second SC50160 eventually went on to carry Strathclyde orange livery, and a subsequent transfer to Chester and then Longsight in the early 1990's. The car found fame and fortune when it was repainted in retro BR green for its final years of operation, and has subsequently passed into preservation.
