@@prime6134 The GWR, SWR, EMR ones look newer as they all have the same black window/light frame that they did when they were built, Northern & TFW changed them to fully yellow on the front and I don't know what ScotRail was doing but they sure do look uncanny.
Whereas Pacers are based on various types of Buses, Sprinters are really just conventional trains, fulfilling the same role of Pacers - Replacing ageing Diesel Multiple Units and Locomotive-hauled coaching stock. Pacers and Sprinters both have two-stage hydraulic transmissions. Pacers were based on buses to cut manufacturing costs, however, Sprinters (The Class 150s in particular) also managed to cut costs, but by having closely spaced seats, thus increasing the number of seats per carriage and decreasing the number of carriages that needed to be built to maintain capacity. The Class 155, 156, 158 & 159 Sprinters had more lavish interiors than the 150s, with the 158s & 159s featuring mod-cons such as air-conditioning, but these Classes of Sprinter trains had significantly lower operating costs than the various locomotive-hauled trains they replaced on longer distance regional routes. Pacers were only intended to operate on more local stopping services, although this didn’t prevent the occasional appearance of them on longer distance routes where circumstance dictated so.

158, The best sound on the planet!!
The ScotRail one's are very familiar to me as I used to ride them every weekend
I'm not so familiar to them, I haven't been to Scotland to many times. A lot of them are in Yorkshire where I'm from!
@@halishrailways2003 I’m familiar with the gwr ones they look new

What’s the intro music called
Yay my favorite train
I know the Pacer is a remodeled bus , but what is the origin of the sprinter ?
