A total of 114 sets were built between 1987 and 1989 for British Rail by Metro-Cammell's Washwood Heath works. They were built to replace elderly first-generation DMUs and locomotive-hauled passenger trains. The design of the Class 156 was relatively conservative in comparison to Metro-Cammell's earlier Class 151 design. Specific changes include the bodyshell being primarily composed of steel instead of aluminium; the deliberate decision was made to model the cab design on the earlier Class 150 was allegedly taken to ease union acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach coach is powered, being outfitted with a single six-cylinder Cummins NT855-R5 diesel engine coupled to Voith T211r hydraulic automatic transmissions and Gmeinder final drive units. The Class 156 can achieve a top speed of 75 mph (121 km\/h). Construction of the welded bodyshells was subcontracted out with Procor Engineering, Wakefield completing 118, WH Davis 60 and Standard Wagon 50.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAston Martin Tickford were awarded the interior fitout contract.[16] The units were all built as two-car sets, numbered 156401-514.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach unit was formed of two driving motors, one of which contained a toilet. Individual carriages numbered 52401-52514 - Driving Motor Standard Lavatory (DMSL) \u0026amp; 57401-57514 - Driving Motor Standard (DMS), containing an area for storing wheelchairs, bicycles, bulky luggage etc. Unlike the Class 150 units, the 156s have a single-leaf sliding door at either end of each coach. This reflected the expected longer journeys with fewer stops that the Class 156 was supposed to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2 class=\"\" products\u003eModel\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1:148 Scale model of a Class 156 diesel multiple-unit decorated in EMR Regional livery.
