Scrapper. BREL Glasgow Works and Class 120 DMBF Sc51784 from Set 304 awaiting its fate. Railcar suggests this vehicle was damaged in a derailment in 1978 after a road vehicle struck a rail over bridge at Oyne (between Inverurie and Insch). Photo circa Spring 1986. alicia hartman.
Scrapper. BREL Glasgow Works and Class 120 DMBF Sc51784. The vehicle is in all blue, the passenger door has a '1' for First Class and the yellow cantrail stripe has faded. Oval buffers at this end but 'cut' buffers at the cab end. It seems that the engines and most of the underframe equipment has been removed. This seems to be one of the ScR vehicles with the extended brake van, converted from a DMBC - see elsewhere on Railcar. The building with the roller shutter may have been for asbestos removal and perhaps the vehicle is awaiting stripping prior to scrapping? Photo circa Spring 1986. alicia hartman.
Set 305 (this DMBF is probably 51785) sits at Aberdeen on 29/4/78. The driver obviously has a sense of humour judging by the blind! Mike Cooper.

A Swindon Works image (negative 5CR 211) showing the Guards area of brand new Cross-Country Driving Motor Brake Composite Sc51786. I have this dated as 18 January 1960 however the vehicle was new to Kittybrewster on 12 December 1959. This was taken from the rear of the vehicle looking forwards. The layout of the van of this batch two vehicle is identical to the first batch. British Railways.
A Swindon Works image (negative 5CR 212) showing the Guards area of brand new Cross-Country Driving Motor Brake Composite Sc51786. I have this dated as 18 January 1960 however the vehicle was new to Kittybrewster on 12 December 1959. There were a few detail differences with the second batch (compare with 5CR 71). In both cases they used the same moquette pattern as the passenger saloon, this vehicle has a back for the seat on the right, the first batch didn't. This batch has three heater controls (a 'local' for each of the two on the vehicle and a guards 'through' control for the whole train). The first batch did not have the through control system and the controls would be in the cab. British Railways.
A Swindon Works image (negative 5CR 213) showing the luggage area of brand new Cross-Country Driving Motor Brake Composite Sc51786. I have this dated as 18 January 1960 however the vehicle was new to Kittybrewster on 12 December 1959. This looks from the guards area to the rear of the vehicle, and is almost identical to the equivalent image from a first batch vehicle (5CR 75). British Railways.
