DMS 130 spent its working life based in Arbroath thus becoming part of the Alexander (Northern) fleet in 1961. In due course Alexander’s blue and cream livery gave way to Northern’s yellow and cream. It was withdrawn in February 1971 and passed thereafter into preservation at various locations in England. It has now returned to Scotland and joined the GVVT collection in June 2018.
