    The British Rail Class 128 was a class of diesel multiple unit, built for British Rail.Introduced in 1959, ten of the class were built by Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company, each with two 230 hp British United Traction-Albion engines. The class was built specifically for parcels, fitted out with parcel racks and bike storage at each end, and did not feature any passenger accommodation. For of the class were allocated to the Midlands Region and featured no gangway whilst the remaining six were allocated to the Western Region and had gangways installed. The last members of the class were withdrawn in 1990 and broken up the following year, and none were preserved.
    These units were once the most powerful single car dmus on BR and would make superb dlc for NTP and Diesel Legends of the GW routes.

    I Said this Previously, No Unit of the Class 128s Exists But I think enough Photos of the Interior and Exterior exist that a Suitable Recreation can be Made.
    These are some of the Interior
