Class 107 - Kyle St 30-10-1983
An unidentified Class 107 burbles away in the Kyle Street sidings on the evening of 30-10-1983, the weekend of the "Railfair" at Ayr to celebrate the start of the Ayrshire electrification project. I can't quite remember if the sidings were "officially" open or that we just asked a passing railwayman for permission to cross the line, but the photo seems to be taken well inside the siding area. Low light conditions (and quite possibly a trip to our favourite bar on Burns Square) have unfortunately not given a clear enough negative to positively identify the DMBS, but the number seems to end in a "2"(?). The ex-Hamilton 107 fleet were remarkably homogeneous in these days. Difficult to find any distinguishing features of individual vehicles. An enduring civic pride in the beautiful town of Ayr has forced me to digitally clean up the litter in the area, but the ever present DMU oil stains must remain.
