GOT A FAVORATE DIESEL MULTIPE UNIT

[PTmodeller]

class 221 super voyagers.
Been on them a few times-very quiet but fast machines which is unusual considering i've rode on a pacer 143 before

Voyager?! Quiet?!

[hairyhandedfool]

I have to say that quiet is not a word I would use for any underfloor engined DMU, but I suppose compared to some DMUs it may seem quiet.

From an asthetic pov, the 170/1 is very nice, but I don't really think I have a favourite DMU as such.

Probably a 150/153 in arriva trains wales livery. see them go past everyday.

When travelling on the rail network, if I was on the Liverpool Lime Street - Wigan North Western I'd hope for a 150.
If it was a 142 I knew it would be one of the yellow Merseyrail jobbies which had been refitted with about 4.7 million seats all facing towards the end of the unit. Not only did they bounce up and down, but at the same time you knees would be firmly planted in the back of the seat in front. I'm only 5'10"!

If the service to Blackpool also stopping at Wigan was on the platform, I'd jump to that instead... Faster and usually a Sprinter. 156 last time I caught it.

158's are nice an comfortable, but the only time I've seen them about has been the Trans-Pennine Express I caught back from Manchester on which there were no spare seats.


Pacer's always make me chuckle though.. Especially the picture of the one where part of the engine fell off
You can hear if it's a Pacer approaching from the wheels squealing before you hear the engine running.

[LN Lancs]

A class 105 in blue

[50035 Ark Royal]

Yes first generation A 121 BUBBLE CAR, 117 OR A Thumper Unit
Second 158 They look nice and are very comfortable to ride in but i would prefer a loco with 4 or 5 Mk I's anyday.I used to love the Cornish locals before sprinterisation.
I also like the 156.

[phil sabin]

Is an HST a dmu? I would argue that its two separate locomotives (with no passenger accomodation) operating in push-pull mode, with unpowered coaching stock in between.

I would further define a DMU as coaching stock with the ability to change gear!

lol, nice one fella

[WestCountry]

EMT's refurbished 158s, 170s.

[Essex2Visuvesi]

The Pacer.... Dont know why tho, it's not what one would call a looker but there's just something about it I like

or the VT98 not sure if its really a DMU

[Russ]

For me its the class 158 and 180. Both can be seen around various locations in yorkshire. I never thought I would see class 158 and 180 side by side in Selby station

[PTmodeller]

You've clearly never had to travel on a Pacer, have you?
