2nd May 1978

Set: 175

Refurbished late in 1976, DMBS 51470 is stabled on Ayr MPD as part of a 3 car unit. In regular service conditions the white and blue livery, which denoted refurbished units at the time, was found difficult to keep clean so units concerned were repainted into blue and grey livery and the stylised GG 'Greater Glasgow' emblem did not last very long either. 51470 was withdrawn in April 1988 and scrapped by MC Metals in Glasgow during October 1989. Bob Woolnough.

In BR blue livery Class 126 DMSL SC51025 is stabled on Ayr MPD on the 2nd May 1978. Delivered in October 1959 Ayr would be the only depot she was ever allocated to being withdrawn from there in August 1982 and scrapped by Mayer Newman Scrapyard, Snailwell, Cambridgeshire during November 1983.

2nd May 1978

Set: 401

Class 126 DMBSL SC51031 from Set 401 is stabled on Ayr MPD on the 2nd May 1978. Other than the rail blue livery the vehicle is as it was delivered to BR in May 1959. Unfortunately this would not last long as less than a year later SC51031 was involved in a tragic accident upon leaving Paisley Gilmour Street Station on the 16th April 1979 when it was involved in a head on collision with a Class 303 unit and SC51031 was cut up on site.
