Preservation Information 59099 was converted into a camping coach at Goathland and never saw any passenger service during its preservation life. In 1979 the vehicle gave up its bogies to be used under BR Pullman coaches 'Opal' and 'Garnet' and continued to be used as a grounded body. Contaminated with asbestos and becoming a liability, 59099 donated some remaining fittings to surviving vehicle 79443, and was then scrapped at MC Metals in May 1994, along with 59098 which had also been in use at Goathland. The disposal of these two vehicles (the last Class 126 buffet cars) left a non buffet Class 126 centre car and a similar Edinburgh & Glasgow buffet in preservation. This was not seen as a problem however as in any event there was only a single surving pair of Class 126 powercars at this point, so there was a surplus of trailer cars. |
