51025
10th August 1973
Two Class 126 DMUs (SC51025 appears to be leading) work the 08:30 Glasgow - Stranraer service seen 1/2 mile north of Challoch Junction (where the line from Castle Douglas met the line from Girvan) on 10 August 1973. Michael Mensing.
2nd May 1978
In BR blue livery Class 126 DMSL SC51025 is stabled on Ayr MPD on the 2nd May 1978. Delivered in October 1959 Ayr would be the only depot she was ever allocated to being withdrawn from there in August 1982 and scrapped by Mayer Newman Scrapyard, Snailwell, Cambridgeshire during November 1983. Bob Woolnough.

5th July 1979
Instamatic Interludes. Class 126 at Girvan waiting for the off. There’s time for the signalman to chat to the driver before the 08:35 Glasgow Central to Stranraer Harbour heads south, facing a stiff climb to the summit (and tunnel) at Pinmore, thence the intermediate station at Barrhill. There always seemed to be a yellow track machine stabled in the siding in the distance. The line was double track as far south as Girvan but by that time it had been singled from Belmont Crossing (Ayr) with an intermediate passing loop at Kilkerran. The red signs at the foot of the signals proclaimed ‘Token Working’ with Girvan presumably being the limit of ‘Tokenless Block Working’ from Kilkerran. Note the car just peeping out next to the ‘box, coincidentally, the same colour as the signalman’s jumper … and what would today’s H&S brigade think of the footware? Well, it is summer! Thursday 05 July 1979. alicia hartman.
17th September 1981
Set: 126418
Two three-car Swindon Inter-City units with 51025 closest at Stranraer Harbour having just arrived from Glasgow on 17th September 1981. David Scott.
circa 1982
Set: 126418
A Swindon Inter-City at Beith North, just north of Glengarnock with Sc51025 leading, circa 1982. As the DMBS vehicle determines the unit number it was unusual for a Swindon DMS to carry it and Sc51025 unusually (and incorrectly in this period) carried 126418. It did however make the vehicle easy to identify even in blurry shots 30-odd years later... Andrew McConnell.

Set: 126418

1982
Set: 126418
126418 in Glasgow Central, probably taken in 1982. Intermediate power car Sc51025 is closest, one of only a handful to carry the set number on the plated-over gangway, on most sets only the DMBS carried this detail. Ian MacDonald.
May 1982
Set: 126418
End of Days. Swindon Inter-City Sets stored at Ayr Townhead Yard. 126 418 is one of the few with the identity displayed on the DMSL (presumably Sc51025). The DMSL to the right looks suspiciously like preserved Sc51017 which may have been part of 126 408 at that time. Summer 1982. alicia hartman.
1st June 1982
Set: 126418
The Papal visit to Bellahouston Park in 1982 required the use of a large number of extra trains - as a result most of the then surviving Class 126 units were mobilised. Sc51026 is seen here in the (now former) carriage sidings at Smithy Lye on 01/06/82. As the DMBS vehicle determines the unit number, it was unusual for a Swindon DMS to carry a set number. Andrew McConnell.
24th October 1982
Scrapper. Swindon Class 126 Sc51025 Intermediate Driving Car buffered up to Leading Driving Car Sc51034 at Falkland Yard, Ayr. The vehicles are awaiting stripping and boarding up. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.

Summer 1981
Set: 126413
Set 126 413 is seen departing from Ayr station in late summer 1981. Intermediate DMS 51026 is on the rear. Andrew McConnell.
1982
Set: 126413
End of Days. Swindon Inter-City 126 413 departing Glasgow Central High Level and what was Platform 12. Intermediate Sc51026 is leading on what is likely a departure for Ayr. The short platfrom road on the right was Platfrom 11a, which saw very little passenger use other than in times of disruption. Probably Summer 1982. alicia hartman.
1982
Set: 126413
End of Days. Swindon DMSL Sc51026 leads 126 413 at Glasgow Central High Level. The Set is waiting at Platform 12 (now 14) on a departure for Ayr. Notice the Greater Glasgow PTE Trans-Clyde logo below the saloon windows. Probably Summer 1982. alicia hartman.
1982
Set: 126413
End of Days. The two remaining Swindon Inter-City Sets (126 406 and 413) have arrived at Glasgow Central with a Sunday working from Stranraer Harbour. Judging by the luggage this service had made a connection with the Sealink ferry from Larne. Sc51026 (126 413) is now standing at the head of Platform 9, ready to run out ECS once the passenger work is complete and tail lamp is removed. Probably Autumn 1982. alicia hartman.
Unknown Date
Intermediate power car SC51026 heads a Class 126 set out of Glasgow Central in the early 1980s. Ian MacDonald.
