Prior to the decision in the 1955 Modernisation Plan to develop the DMU as a replacement for steam haulage on branch lines and secondary routes, British Rail had introduced a number of DMU vehicles to gauge the impact of this type of rolling stock on revenue and expenditure over routes that were potentially threatened with closure. These units were introduced to service in several parts of the country with considerable success. As non-standard types, the units were largely withdrawn by the late 1960s but a number saw subsequent service in departmental use. A handful of the types survive in preservation. This book examines the units in detail, accompanied by scale drawings and informative text on the construction, operation, and history of the units. It will also contain an appendix detailing the history of each individual vehicle (date of introduction, allocation, withdrawal, fate, etc.). Highly illustrated, this will be sought after by enthusiasts nationwide.
