Leyland Bus constructed the Class 155 DMUs at its Workington factory between 1987 and 1988. After this class entered service, there was a requirement to replace ageing railcars on rural lines. It was decided that the Class 155 units would be converted to a new class, the 153, which was completed by Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock between 1991 and 1992. They produced 70 units in total. Powered by a 285hp Cummins NT855-R5 Diesel, working through a Voith Hydraulic transmission, the maximum speed of a Class 153 is 75mph, making it perfectly suited for small cross-country services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur replication of No. 153361 sports the iconic FGW Blue ‘Local Lines’ livery, reminiscent of the prototypical units. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-Pin decoder. The accessory bag will contain two NEM hook couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53437112779091,"sku":"R30357","price":169.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_R30357.jpg?v=1777534259","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/fgw-class-153-no-153361-era-9","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
