Bo'ness Diesel Gala, 28th December 2024 7: Class 117 DMU

The operational Class 117 dmu arrived after a sale by the Cotswold Diesel Railcar group:
51363 DMBS - on the Mid-Hants 2001 - 2011, then the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway until November 2024
59510 TCL - earlier on the West Somerset, then joined 51363 at the Mid-Hants and similar moves to 51363
51405 DMS - similar moves as 51363.

Class 117 units were built by Pressed Steel Company, at Linwood, Renfrewshire. In later life, some units operated for ScotRail, although not this example.
