Class 126 Waterside 'Ayrshire Wanderer' 9 Oct 1982. 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 The class also remained in service for a bit longer than planned after the tour which had meant to see them being withdrawn from service the following day. Here we see a glimpse of Sc51043 at Benbane on the Waterside branch. Alistair Ness.

The SPS Ayrshire Wanderer railtour during the lunch stop at Largs on 9 October 1982. The two Class 126 units have swapped places - in the morning the two intermediate cars were at the outer ends, now the leading cars were on the outside and SC51043 is closest in this view. John Horne.

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.
