Designed specifically for modellers of the modern scene, this new
book provides a comprehensive reference to all the livieries that
have come and gone on the network since the wholesale privatisation
of the mid 1990s.It is now more than 70 years since the first DMUs
made their first appearance on the British railway system and more
than 50 years since DMUs were introduced onto the BR network in
large numbers. From the late 1950s onwards several thousand DMU
vehicles were brought into service as replacement for steam
services over branches and secondary routes and from the mid-1980s
onwards this first generation of DMU was gradually replaced by a
second-generation of DMU although the final elimination of the
first-generation units did not occur until the first years of the
21st century. On the privatised railway of the 21st century,
virtually all non-electrified passenger services are now operated
by DMUs of one design or another and, on the preserved railways,
many examples of the first generation of stock continue to earn
their living. Although initially ill-favoured, as the years passed,
so the humble DMU has attracted an ever-growing army of enthusiast
fans and this is reflected in the number of web-sites devoted to
the subject, to the increasing number of models that are emerging -
a reflection of the fact that virtually no model railway covering
the BR scene post 1955 can avoid operating DMUs. Fully illustrated
throughout, this is the perfect volume for all serious modellers!
