LMS Railcar 56

The original version of the passenger railcar. Unveiled by the LMS in 1938, it was an experimental diesel train intended to explore the potential cost savings compared to steam operation and the usefulness of railcar operation for secondary services. It was given a streamlined body and cabs in the style of the high-speed diesel railcars making headlines in Germany, but this was a very British version and differed technically from its German cousins.
