class 158

The Class 158 is a British diesel multiple unit primarily used for regional and intercity services. It boasts a top speed of 160 km/h and typically runs with two or three cars per set. Powered by Cummins engines, it offers a comfortable ride and decent fuel efficiency for its era. In Australia, these units are rare, but if you're curious, the UK market is where you'll find them, often priced from £50,000 to £150,000 used. Common issues include:

• Age-related corrosion
• Outdated passenger amenities
• Maintenance complexity due to older tech
