The First Generation British Railways Class 126 DMU were built especially for British Railways Scottish Region (BRsc) and utilised extensively on the Ayrshire Line.

Initially designed for a lifespan of about 20 years but by the 1980's they began to show their age through wear and tear through constant heavy use some recording nearly 2 million running miles on the clock.

This unit was one of the last to survive in service until January 1983. Work began it's restoration and preservation at Bo'ness TMD in 2000 with all interiors completely dismantled for the careful removal of asbestos which was required by law.

The DMU is about to start from Bo'ness Station with a regular timetabled service.
