The Branch Line Society 'Clyde-Forth' railtour is seen at Menstrie on the freight only branch from Cambus Junction to Glenochil Distillery and yeast factory at Menstrie on August 23, 1986. Formed of two hybrid 3-car sets, 120/101 53651+59124+53736 and 116/120 set 53673+59374+53090 trailing. This line was once a passenger branch from Cambus Junction near Alloa to Alva but lost its service on 01/11/1954. It was retained as a freight branch initially to Alva but the section beyond Glenochil Distilley to Alva closed on 24/02/1964. The branch to Menstrie was retained for inbound grain and molasses traffic but only generated wagon load flows. It was a victim of the demise of the Speedlink wagon load network disbanded by BR in July 1991 and fell into disuse thereafter. Adrian Nicholls.

A Class 120/101/101 formation at Prestwick, circa August / September 1986. The DMBC seems to be missing a digit from its set number, Ayr had many 5xx sets at the time (the formations changed frequently).
