Class 121 car 55032 running as unit 121032 worked the Cardiff Queen Street to Cardiff Bay (Bute Road) shuttle service, serving the redeveloping Cardiff dockside area.

Introduced in the 1950's these DMU's replaced steam passenger trains on branch lines and local services across the country. The ability to couple these trains together to form longer trains when needed with just one driver and guard made these units very flexible in service. The last units of this type were still in passenger service in 2000 and several sets have been preserved.

This model is finished as unit 153302 in Wessex Trains black and gold livery

This Dapol model features a low friction under window drive mechanism, as developed for the 156 Sprinter unit, incorporating the Dapol super creep motor and a 40:1 gear ratio for superb smooth running at low speeds. A DCC 6 pin socket will be fitted along with directional lighting and see through windows.

The 153 units are the usual trains on many of the scenic but lightly-used cross-country branchlines in Wales. Many of these services are essential, providing public transport connections to many towns and tourist destinations in remote parts of the principality. Units can easily be coupled together, or coupled to other 'sprinter' types to form longer trains wehn required, making the 153 a particularly flexible and useful part of the Arriva roster.

The BR Class 121 is a type of diesel railcar built by the Pressed Steel Company at Cowley in 1960. In all sixteen single car driving vehicles (‘Bubble cars’, as they were nicknamed) and 10 trailer cars were built and entered service in 1960. Remarkably, two are still in service today and eight have survived into preservation. The Class 121 was initially designed for use on branch line duties in the Western Region of BR and over its long service life has seen many modified cations and changes during refurbishment, including the removal of the distinctive front exhausts and the plating over of the 4 digit roof level headcode indicator box in the 1970s.
