8th July 1984
Set number: 107432
One of three images taken at Elderslie on 8 July 1984 - it is unclear what the original order was (see comment for image 33546). In this view, a six-car formation in the siding contains DMSL SC52026 from set 107432 with two 101 vehicles, and a 104/107/107 combo, thought to be 53565 + 59800 + 51992. The engines are being revved up, but there is no sign of smoke from the closest car or the 104, that and the Class 47 could be signs that this train had been a failure. Stuart Mackay Collection.
8th July 1984
Set number: 107432
One of three images taken at Elderslie on 8 July 1984 - it is unclear what the original order was (see comment for image 33546). In this view, a six-car formation heads in the Glasgow direction past Elderslie No.1 signal box onto the Paisley Canal lines. The formation contained DMSL SC52026 from set 107432 closest working with two 101 vehicles, and a 104/107/107 combo, thought to be 53565 + 59800 + 51992. Stuart Mackay Collection.
7th August 1985
Set number: 107432
Two sets near Girvan with a northbound service on 7th August 1985. The leading has had the 432 removed from the set number, it would probably mean this is 52026. It seems to be a 107/107/possibly 104 formation. John Crooks.
1st June 1989
Set number: 107732
An Edinburgh - North Berwick service departs from Waverley on June 1, 1989 formed of a two-car Derby Class 107 DMU. 52026 is closest, presumably paired with 51992, still carrying Trans Clyde markings. Hamish Stevenson.
11th July 1989
Set number: 107732
Set 107 732 (52026 trailing 51992) departs from Inverkeithing towards the Forth Bridge at 20.50 on 11/7/89. It is on a Fife 'Outer Circle' working - 19.15 Edinburgh to Edinburgh via Dunfermline, Thornton and Kirkcaldy. Leonard Rogers.
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 19th April 1981
Set number: 138
Class 107 DMU set 138 with vehicles 51992 + 59800 + 52026 arrives into Glasgow Central on 19 April 1981, the marker lights already changed to red for the return journey. 87016 lurks in the background. Derek Hoskins.
Date: 8th July 1984
Set number: 313
One of three images taken at Elderslie on 8 July 1984 - it is unclear what the original order was (see comment!). In this view, two Class 101s - set 313 leading (51239 closest with its higher than normal vehicle number) and a Class 107 vehicle at the rear of the 2nd set - passes another six-car formation in the siding on their way from Glasgow to Ayrshire. This contained DMSL SC52026 from set 107432 working with two 101 vehicles, and a 104/107/107 combo thought to be 53565 + 59800 + 51992 - the latter two being the rest of 107432. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Date: 30th August 1989
Set number: 107732
A two-car Class 107 dmu (107732, presumably 51992 + 52026) takes on passengers at North Berwick on 30 August 1989 before heading to Edinburgh. Robert28194.
