Eastfield's BRCW set 456 (53464 + 59168 + 53517) arrives at Waverley in the spring of 1988. It seems to have drawn a crowd of young admirers in the background, a spot where I was first introduced to (green) DMUs and locos moving around here at a similar age. This long-time Manchester set came up to Scotland in 1987 but lasted less than 2 years before living out a final year of service at Newton Heath. Murray Liston.
53464 + 59168 + (53517), working the 17:28 Cowdenbeath - Edinburgh on June 10, 1988, pass a Class 101 centre car stabled in the east end of Haymarket depot. Hamish Stevenson.

Late afternoon in August 1987 and we see a 6 car DMU leaving platform 16 with a rush hour service to Fife. The BRCW DMUs were a rarity in Waverley until later reallocations, this set led by 53556 came north in 1986 for a couple of years before moving south again shortly before its withdrawal. It is presumably with 59228 + 53504 and there is a Class 101 on the rear. Murray Liston.
Class 104 (53504 + 59228 + 53556) at North Queensferry in August 1987. This BRCW class was unheard of north of the border when we cut our spotters teeth but by the mid 80s it was a case of "anything goes". Here we see a former Buxton based driving motor bringing up the rear of a Fife Circle train which is heading towards Inverkeithing. Alistair Ness.
In the "anything goes" period before Sprinterisation, this view taken alongside Haymarket depot in August 1987 shows just what a variety of DMUs and liveries could be found. In the centre, a 6 car set is forming a rush hour service to Fife, an all blue "Buxton" BRCW class 104 triple (Set 457 53504 + 59229 + 53556) on the rear and (most of) a Strathclyde red Derby class 107 in front, but with a Met Camm class 101 car leading. On the left is a Stirling to Edinburgh working formed of a blue / grey Met Camm 101, with some more of these on the right awaiting repairs at the depot. Murray Liston.
Croy wood veneer 104457. During four years living in Ayrshire 1986-90, photography of first generation DMUs was a must. Two were right at the top and both were BRCW Class 104 sets. One was the Mexican Bean and the other was 104457 which I called the wood veneer set, took photos to prove it. In this instance on 1st October 1987. This is at Croy. I was travelling Stirling Glasgow and had just been decanted from a failed 101. Closest is 53504, the other two vehicles are presumably 59228 + 53556. Robert Forsythe.
