Graham Farish 371-339SF Class 150/2 2-Car DMU 150213 Transport for Wales Dcc Sound (N Gauge)

Product Information

The Class 150 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is an enduring design, first introduced in 1984 much of the fleet remains in service today with operators including Transport for Wales (TfW). The striking white, red and grey livery of TfW adorns the Graham Farish Class 150 DMU for the first time and we’ve selected 150/2 No. 150213 as the subject for this sublime N Scale model which comes complete with SOUND FITTED. The 150/2 sub-class is characterised by the gangway doors fitted to the cab ends, allowing two or more units to work in multiple whilst allowing access from one unit to another.

Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, gangway connectors and exhaust, the Graham Farish model replicates the Class 150/2 faithfully. The chassis boasts a suite of parts to depict the engine, drive train, electrical gear and auxiliary equipment, while inside the model, passenger seating is included along with cab detail. The livery application, using authentic colours and accurate typefaces and logos just enhances the model’s good looks, while the powerful and smooth drive mechanism and pre-fitted DCC decoders in this SOUND FITTED model makes the Class 150 DMU the perfect addition to any modern N scale collection.

CLASS 150 DMU HISTORY

The British Rail Class 150 ‘Sprinter’ is a class of diesel multiple unit passenger train built by BREL York from 1984 to 1987. A total of 137 units were produced in three main subclasses, replacing many of the earlier, first generation ‘heritage’ DMUs. The first subclass, the 150/0, comprised a pair of prototype units.

The second batch which comprised fifty units was classified 150/1s and numbered in the range 150101-150. Like the prototype units, they did not have front-end corridor connectors which are fitted to allow passengers to move between units when working in multiple. Originally based at Derby Etches Park depot, these units were introduced in 1986, mainly concentrated around Birmingham and Manchester, and in later years restricted mainly to commuter services. Today the entire fleet is concentrated on the Northern franchise, mainly working around Manchester to places like Buxton, Sheffield, Liverpool, Southport and Carnforth.

The final batch of 85 two car units were built with front-end corridor connectors. These units were classified as Class 150/2s and numbered in the range 150201-285. The Class 150/2s were used on longer-distance services and have operated in Scotland, Wales, the West of England and the North.
