  • In the mid 1980s British Rail ordered second generation DMUs to replace the aging first generation units built in the mid 1950s.
    This video shows classes 150/1, 150/2, 153 & 156 in action between 1994 and 2000. Class 158 will be covered in a separated video. For a cab view from a class 150 see • British Rail Vignettes...
    It also shows the operation of the crossing gates and crossing box at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwryndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

    Over 5,000 views, over 5,000 subscribed, and only 59 likes + mine; what do people want? What an excellent, varied compilation. Simple, accurate captions too - makes a change. I'd forgotten about some of these liveries. Thanks for posting this; you've got a new subscriber. ☺

    10:37, what a rare sight! The only trains to run along the Cambrian line and cambrian coast line are the Class 158s because they are the only trains in the TfW fleet to have ETCS installed.

    Only a portion of the 2nd Generation DMUs are covered here. Don't you have any footage of the Pacers?

    How does the gearbox work on these trains because it's not like a car that revs up as it speeds up and it's not diesel electric

      They have a two speed gearbox. 150’s, 153’s, 155’s and 156’s are first gear till 45. While 158’s and 159’s are 57, along with 165’s and 166’s (supposedly).
      170’s are first gear till 70. It’s different which different stock

      @@cameronirvine37703 165s and 166s use the same engines that 158816 to 158863 use, but they're diesel-electric rather than diesel-hydraulic, they may not have a transmission at all

    This is the 2 car class 150108 that is new 🆕 to the West Midlands in central England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 perhaps 🤔. It’s a gangway within unit. Very trustworthy trains 🚊 in the world 🌎. I like 👍 the class 150 trains 🚊 is because they are comfortable and warm inside containing central heating. The countryside railway 🚃 stations 🚉 are lovely ☺️ is because they are quiet 🤫 such as shhh 🤫 🤐 . When the class 150 trains 🚊 were brand new 🆕 in the years between 1984 and 1987, they were in the BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail 🚃 🚆 livery says sprinter on the side of the trains 🚂 🚆 🚊 . Class 150 trains 🚊 are used for provincial services at present 💝 since brand new 🆕 are currently in the southwest, west, plenty parts of the north of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 , West Midlands in central England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and finally Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. In the past, the class 150 trains 🚊 have previously been allocated to th3 capital city 🌆 of London in the south of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, east Anglia in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and finally Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Now at present 💝, class 150 trains 🚊 are currently allocated to 4 separate train 🚊 companies are GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , LNWR - London Northwestern Railway 🚃 , NT - Northern and finally TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Class 150 trains 🚊 will stay with TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 until around perhaps 🤔 Saturday 31st May 2025 at the latest when they are replaced by brand new 🆕 trains 🚊 are are honestly hoped to be transferred to other train 🚊 companies are GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , LNWR - London Northwestern Railway 🚃 and finally NT - Northern. This is the 1 single car class 153 DMU - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Unit trains 🚊. Although class 153 trains 🚊 are only used for rural branch lines in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is named SR - ScotRail and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is named TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Please 🙏 bring back BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail 🚃 🚆 . Privatised train 🚊 companies are very embarrassing 😳 🙈 confusion that can happen to railway 🚃 staff and passengers that use the trains 🚆. At present 💝, class 156 trains 🚆 are used for NT - Northern and SR - ScotRail. Class 158 trains 🚊 are used for EMR - East Midlands Railway 🚃, GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 , NT - Northern, SR - ScotRail, SWR - South Western Railway 🚃 and finally TFW - Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.
