Vendor Description (OnTracks)

BR Class 156 DMU in One livery.

The British Rail Class 156 "Super-Sprinter" was produced to replace elderly 'heritage' DMUs and locomotive-hauled passenger trains. 114 of these units were built from 1987-89 by Metro-Cammell (now owned by Alstom) at their Washwood Heath Works in Birmingham.

The vehicles are based on the Mark 3 bodyshell, and are powered by 6-cylinder Cummins NT855-R5 diesel engine through Voith automatic transmissions. Unlike the class 150s, the 156s have a single leaf sliding door at either end of each coach - this feature reflected the anticipated longer journeys (with fewer stops) that the Class 156 was supposed to operate. They have a top speed of 75mph.

Livery: One Livery Period: Current Length: 310mm each unit Finish: Pristine Motor: 5 pole skew wound
