Statistics and information

Four livery variations, based on date built and last service. Cargo variants not shown.
Type: Diesel Railcar
Introduction: 1955
Withdrawal: 2000
Speed: 70mph
Power: 300hp
Weight: 32t
Tractive Effort: 40kN
Capacity: 20 Passengers and 10 bags of Mail; refittable to any express cargo.
Replaces: AEC Railcar, AEC Railbus, 2-6-0 Mickey, 0-6-0 Pannier

The Metro Cammell DMU comes as a single "bubblecar", with cabs on both ends, when bought. Place a second one in the train to make them single-ended. A typical real-world consist would be two Metro Cammell DMUs with a standard passenger or mail car between them.

"Newfangled" DMUs made a big change to the railway scene from the mid 1950s. Replacing steam-hauled trains and older railbusses, their low running costs made many less-trafficked lines viable again, and their decent top speed allowed them to mix with traffic on the main line too.

Similar locomotives

The model in PJ1K is a Class 101, the first and best-known of the early DMUs, but it can stand for any of the first-generation units.
