Set: 126406
Class 101 & 126 Largs 9 Oct 1982. The Class 126 (formed 51036/59411/51017 + 51026/59404/51043) was on the 'Ayrshire Wanderer' railtour. This tour was organised by the Swindon Preservation Society and used the same name as the previous year's BLS tour doing exactly what it said on the headboard. The class also remained in service for a bit longer than planned after the tour which had meant to see them being withdrawn from service the following day. Alistair Ness.

Class 126 Hunterston 9 Oct 1982. This tour ("Ayrshire Wanderer") was organised by the Swindon Preservation Society and used the same name as the previous year's BLS tour doing exactly what it said on the headboard. The class also remained in service for a bit longer than planned after the tour which had meant to see them being withdrawn from service the following day. Here we see two Class 126 driving cabs coupled together at Hunterston Ore Terminal. 51043 is on the left and 51036 on the right. Alistair Ness.

Scrapper. Swindon Class 126 Trailer Sc59402 languishes at Falkland Yard (Down Side) adjacent to the beach. This is the corridor side, the compartments and lavatories were on the other side. Originally a Composite it was declassified to all Second and is shown as a TSL on the vehicle end, above the 'White Circle'. Withdrawn Swindon vehicles were stored here or at the former Co-op Coal Sidings to the south of Ayr station prior to component recovery, boarding up and onward rail transfer for scrap.

24th October 1982
Scrapper. Swindon DMSL Sc51029 (nearest) awaits its fate at Falkland Yard, Ayr. The DMBSL visible at the end of the next set is Sc51037, which was subsequently photgraphed. Railcar data suggests that the adjacent DMSL could then be Sc51015. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.
24th October 1982
Scrapper. Class 126 vehicles stored at Falkland Yard, Ayr, prior to their final journey to Snailwell in East Anglia for scrapping. DMBSL Sc51037 nearest the camera has not been stripped and boarded up yet, unlike the adjacent set. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.
24th October 1982
Scrapper. Swindon Class 126 DMSL Sc51029 stored at Falkland Yard, Ayr. Whilst many of the vehicles stored here that day were 'COND' the vehicles seen here appear complete and probably await stripping and boarding up for scrap. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.

November 1982
Set: 126406
126 406 has just passed Elderslie No2 Signal Box and is crossing the flyunder for the Kilmacolm Branch (the truncated G&SWR main line to Greenock Princes Pier). The unit would have hit top speed along this section and would shortly after have the brakes applied hard for the stop at Johnstone. The short, 7 minute journey from Paisley to Johnstone was one of my favourite regular DMU trips. Photo taken at the very end of Class 126 operation - probably end of November 1982. The Kilmacolm line was closed in January 1983. Andrew McConnell.

A class 126 d.m.u. northbound on the Troon avoiding line at Troon on 27-11-82. Image by A. Wilson. For nearly 25 years, these B.R. Swindon built units were the mainstay of the routes from Glasgow to Ayrshire. This view shows a train probably from Stranraer to Glasgow avoiding the Troon stop on the loop line. This was the original main line and was superseded in 1892 when the loop was built, bringing the passenger station into the town. This avoiding line closed the day after this, on 28-11-1982, in preparation for re-signalling and electrification. Here, the old line has been integrated into the Fullarton golf course, and a footpath runs along the old trackbed. Gordon Thomson.

It's Not Unusual. Perhaps, but it's a late Saturday afternoon and Swindon 126 413 has deposited a handful of passengers at Largs after arriving on a service from Glasgow Central. DMBSL Sc51043 is nearest the camera with DMSL Sc51017 recorded at the rear. TSL is presumably Sc59404. This is probably the reformed Set 413 (with DMSL swapped from the other remaining operational Set 406) prior to preservation. December 1982. alicia hartman.

End of Days. Late Saturday afternoon and Swindon Inter-City 126 413, with DMSL Sc51017 nearest, idles at Largs on Platform 2. It will work back to Glasgow Central once the crew return and the tail lamp is removed. The high contrast is due due to the low winter sun ... and under exposure! December 1982. alicia hartman.
