Many thanks, I guess the mk2z in scotrail being hauled by 27052 in the above link is air braked and one of the 6 in scotrail in early 86 and could be found with mk2a's on Dundee services?

Many thanks for the headsup, seen this a few times and no sign of any ScotRail liveried stock unfortunately. Luckily I kept a combined loco and stock pocket book for 1986 and it shows 6 mk2a's in Scotrail from the beginning of the year so slim chance they were all on the same train!

Brilliant, just the pic I was looking for but like you say more likely to be 1986! My pic of 47604 was on the 2nd April 86' and there were still a handful of 27's kicking about on the Dundee's but mainly 47's, I encountered a number of 27's myself in the summer of 86' so was hoping to come across some pic's of mk2a's in ScotRail like the one provided. Many thanks

Hi all, I am currently building a new layout based on my childhood layout which had a Scottish theme back in the mid 80's. I am interested to know whether anyone has any recollection of Dundee to Edinburgh services or similar (Arbroth/Perth etc..) which used ScotRail liveried mk2's in 86/87 hauled by class 26/27's ? I only ask because I took a pic in 86' of 47604 on an Edinburgh to Dundee service with at least one scotrail liveried coach in the consist. Surprisingly the web/Flickr has been fruitless, plenty of 27's but stock is all blue and grey. I have several Regional Railway mk2's to convert to Scotrail, but I don't think full rakes were ever on the scene, if not, perhaps a swap for more blue and grey if anyone is after Regional Railways stock?! Many thanks Mike
