What on earth is that? It looks like a sprinter and a First generation DMU had a child

 

It is a Class 123 DMU - what used to run in the past - maybe before your time if you don't recognise it.

There was a big fleet of different first gen DMUs running until Pacers and Sprinters made their appearance in the mid 1980s
