Diesel railcar and trailer. With eightteen diesel-engine railcars in service and a further twenty under construction, the G.W.R. is the biggest user of these light and speedy units among the home railways. These railcars can be driven from either end, the engines and radiators beinig arranged along the sides below the body. The types in use by the G.W.R. range from cars fitted with buffets for the fast Cardiff-Birmingham services to a single luggage- and parcels-carrying type. The railcar illustrated is for branch line or intermediate service traffic; if required, it can haul a trailer coach as shown, or a horsebox. It can also perform light shunting duties.
