10 years ago now (summer 2000) we went on a 101 dmu out of Glasgow Central to a suburban destination and very soon after that they were withdrawn. If I remember right, they were painted in that rather unimaginative all-over darkish blue colour. Personally I don't have very positive memories of them - noisy, poor performance and stank of diesel fumes - but they're very much part of our railway heritage now.
