Class Profile:
The GWR pioneered the use of diesel railcars for passenger traffic in the 1930s, and their numbers gradually increased with batches from different manufacturers. However, the
most numerous variant was the batch built in 1940-42 with its distinctive angular 'razor edge'
bodywork. Employed on branch lines and local services, they were the perfect single vehicle
passenger train and continued to provide sterling service until replaced by BR DMUs in the
early-1960s.
