A collection of photographs of second generation Diesel Multiple Units in action on Britain's railways.
COSTA Rica’s national railway Incofer has released artist’s impressions of the interior and exterior design of its new fleet of Chinese-built DMUs.
The British Rail Derby Lightweight diesel multiple units, were the first such trains to be built en-masse for British Railways.The units were built at BR's Derby Works from 1954 to 1955. The units were built in various formations, including 12 power-twin 2-car units, 84 power-trailer 2-car units, and four 4-car units.
Edit on 28.12.2018: Leo Express is not the new owner of the DMUs, but is leasing them. We edited this article accordingly.On 19 december 2018 fourteen Lint DMUs were transported to the Czech Republic for Leo Express. The trainsets, formely used for the HarzElbeExpress (HEX), come from Transdev.

The Metro-Cammel DMU Class 101 survived 47 years, the last to be withdrawn in December 2003. Here is a DMU to Leeds on Platform 5, April 1968. Platforms 1-5 used to serve Lancaster and Yorkshire Railway; platforms 6-10 served the Great Northern Railway. Horrible panels replaced glass at the end of the canopy as a precaution during World War 2, and ruined the look.

Photo by the late Jack Ray. Rescued from a poor and much faded colour slide. A real rarity insofar as it had Jack (who hated diesels) taking a picture of a diesel train! Perhaps even his died-in-the-wool love of steam couldn't make him completely oblivious to the "stand out" appearance of this particular train. These trains looked impressive but they enjoyed fairly brief careers - all had gone by the early 1970s.
Hopes are growing that regular scheduled train services will once more operate between the WSR and Taunton.
