In 1984, BREL built two prototype 3-car Class 150/0 train units numbered Class 150001 and Class 150002 . The latter was fitted with a Perkins (Rolls-Royce) power unit and a self-changing-gears transmission. At a later date the engine was changed to a Cummins engine and Voith hydraulic transmission.
