Possibly the most famous class 104 DMU set of the whole class 'The Mexican Bean' 53424 + 53434 (set 104 325) arriving at Dalmally forming train 2Y96 SuO 14.00 Oban to Crianlarich on August 30, 1987. Adrian Nicholls.
A busy Sunday afternoon at Dalmally. 30/08/87. Dalmally station plays host to two DMU's on a route at the time which was pretty well solid class 37's on passenger trains and freight. On the left is the 'Mexican Bean' DMU set 104 325 working train 2Y96 the SuO 14.00 Oban to Crianlarich. This was a summer only dated BR ScotRail / Highlands & Islands Tourist Board sponsored service using the DMU as a self propelled observation saloon train. On the right is Ayr allocated DMU set 107440 working the Branch Line Society's 'Firth of Lorne' railtour which had originated from Glasgow Central and was a six car formation with DMU set 101338 out of sight behind. The highlight of the tour being a traversal of the freight only branch to Crianlarich Low Level on the former Caledonian Railway route to Dunblane via Balquhidder. 53434 has a Wipac headlight fitted on the roof dome, Adrian Nicholls.
