There are some good DMU models out there, personally I would quite like to see a Strathclyde 156 running about, I'm sure Hornby did a half decent example a few years back...........:)

i was not 155, it was the 156because if you look at a 156 it has a large cab then a small corridor conector which gets turned in to a cab 156=2'153's

As for using the religious comparison, well, I'm sorry mate but you appear to have lost it. Seek help before it's too late.

Well railwaybuddy i use a 153 to take me to work somedays a 20 min ride
and they i fine for that short runs such as branch lines but not for any long distance work.

156s are a better train but in my views you cant beat a good old engine and coaches or HSTs a lot more comfort :D :D :D :D.
