DMUs In Colour - Volume 2 An Illustrated History Of Second Generation Diesel Multiple Units

From the same author as Volume 1 we now look at 2nd generation DMUs in the same detailed manner. Chapters explain the ‘Development of the Alternative Technology Project’ and how this affected the DMUs intended to replace mainly the first-generation units. Covering classes 140 to 166, the book looks at the way in which each class was developed and covers the developments for each class. Ownership of the vehicles is explained together with the variety of liveries used on these units during their lifetimes. The images are accompanied by detailed captions and follow the development and progress of the units throughout their life. There is a section on accidents and the whys and wherefores of the incidents are examined. The book also includes a final chapter on the ‘Pseudo Sprinter’ also known as the Northern Ireland Class 450.
