The ScR had three vehicles converted to parcels use in the late '60s, 55013/4/5, with at least 55013 still being in green at conversion. They were allocated to Leith Central at least until the early 70s. From Edinburgh they worked on trains to Stirling and Dundee coupled to service DMUs. They also sometimes worked with Metro Cammell or Gloucester twin sets on Kirkcaldy services, although this could have been to provide extra power. (info from Alan Rintoul)
