British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) built the fleet between 1984 and 1987. Two three-car Class 150/0 prototypes were followed by 50 two-car Class 150/1 units and 85 two-car Class 150/2 units. The later 150/2 design introduced end gangway connections to allow passengers to pass between coupled units.Powered by underfloor Cummins diesel engines with Voith hydraulic transmissions, the production Sprinters were designed for a maximum speed of 75 mph (121 km/h). Their power-operated passenger doors, robust bodies and practical interiors helped modernise regional rail travel. Over their long careers, these trains carried British Rail and post-privatisation identities across England and Wales.The First Great Western era brought Class 150 Sprinters to a wide range of local and regional West Country services. The distinctive blue livery recalls the fleet during the years following rail privatisation.Special thanks to Yung Lenin/Scud for kindly giving me permission to use his original Transport Fever 2 train mods and convert them to Transport Fever 3
