Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.

Gloucester Twin DMUs, worked in Scotland from 1958 to 1975.
Originally built at 2-car sets, operating out of Edinburgh (Leith depot) and Glasgow Central (from Hamilton depot).
The power-cars were kept in service longer than the trailer cars and were latterly formed in to 3-car sets as hybrids with Class 101 and Class 105 DMUs.
