Sc51787 at Dalmally heading for Oban on August 2nd, 1967. The tablet catcher can be clearly seen. Graham Johnston.
Set 301 at Keith Junction, 20/5/78 with SC51787 closest. An SRPS special was held waiting to come off the branch to Dufftown while this service passed. 20/5/78. Mike Cooper.
Swindon Cross-Country set 301 at Nairn on August 24, 1978. DMBC SC51787 is closest. Steve Jones.
On the 10th March 1979 set 301 is led by SC51787 and has a Met-Camm centre car (probably 59574, it seems to have buffet on the side). It's on the 15:50 from Aberdeen at Insch. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 120 DMU set 301 with Sc51787 closest at Inverurie on 23 July 1979. Brian Daniels.
A Swindon Cross-Country DMU in Edinburgh Waverley in October 1979. This would be an Inverness allocated vehicle, the first passenger window carries a 1 for first class making it a DMBC. The cut / oval buffers means that it is almost certainly 51787. S Saunders.
Distant Past. An interesting array of DMUs in Ayr Kyle Street Sidings. From the left it looks like a Class 126 TSL, Class 120 Cross Country Power Car, Class 116 Derby Suburban, Class 126 TSL, Class 126 Leading and Class 126 Intermediate to the right on the short road. The Swindon Cross Country is one of a number that spent a short spell at Ayr after the Aberdeen to Inverness services went over to Type 2 haulage. They eventually went south. The Class 120 is probably a DMC (three leading saloon windows) and Railcar suggests this could be Sc51787. Enlargement from half frame 35 mm negative - not great quality, but not great weather either! Uncollated negative but possibly April 1980. alicia hartman.
This is obviously a Branch Line Society railtour! Swindon Cross-Country car 51787 really could not have travelled further down the branch to Girvan Goods on the second day of the "Ayrshire Wanderer" tour on 30 August 1981. A few weeks later this car would be transferred to England (at Derby Etches Park). Jeremy Chapter.
The 1981 BLS Scottish Tour was the Ayrshire Wanderer which ran in two parts. The Sunday tour (30 August) started and finished at Ayr and here we are at Girvan Goods. For some reason we spent ages here, probably due to awaiting a path on the Stranraer line where we were headed next, so I put the time to good use and walked much further away from the train to take my shot. It was formed of 51787/59685/51529. Alistair Ness.
The 1981 BLS Scottish Tour was the Ayrshire Wanderer which ran in two parts. The Sunday tour (on 30 August) started and finished at Ayr and here we are at Girvan awaiting the road south. The formation of the train was interesting as it comprised two ex Inverness based Class 120 vehicles SC51787 + SC59685 and Class 101 SC51529. Alistair Ness.

The 1981 BLS Scottish Tour was the Ayrshire Wanderer which ran in two parts. The Sunday tour (on 30 August, formed 51787 + 59685 + 51529) started and finished at Ayr and here we are as far as you can get at Stranraer harbour. The mileage men were all crammed into the front coach to get the last drop but Alan and I elected to forego the scrum and walk down to take our pics. Alistair Ness.
On the second day of the Branch Line Society's "Ayrshire Wanderer" railtour, August 30th 1981, a mixed formation set was used. The leading end here is Class 120 Swindon-built "cross-country" car 51787, the trailer is a similar former buffet car (59685) and the far end is a Metro-Cammell class 101 car (51529). This was taken at Barrhill station. Jeremy Chapter.
With the Ailsa Princess as a backdrop the BLS Ayr & Stranraer railtour on 30 August 1981 almost reaches the buffer stop at Stranraer Harbour. The tour ran from Ayr and was formed of 51787 + 59685 + 51529. John Horne Collection.

A Class 120 DMU waits in Dalmally station for a southbound service to arrive before it can continue its journey to Oban. Tuesday 23 June 1970. That summer Hamilton had 51788/59684/51781 on loan from Inverness for the service, the DMBC still in green livery. Peter James.

SC51788 at Perth on 8th September, 1975. An example of a negative I never thought worthy of printing in 1975, the unit was a mere 15 years out of Swindon Works. I think I took it because it was on the rarely used middle line between these platforms, Today the image has an historical context that I didn't envisage in my last year as a teenager! Arnie Furniss.
