It was first published in 1989. Prior to 1989, the contents of BRPB3: Diesel Multiple Units and BRPB4: Electric Multiple Units were published in a single volume called Multiple Unit Pocket Book.
We have copies of most editions of BRPB3: Diesel Multiple Units in stock. All editions that are still available are now listed on the site - any editions not listed are no longer available.
Each edition of BRPB3: Diesel Multiple Units Includes a detailed listing of all DMUs in service with technical information provided for every class of DMU and specific details for every DMU in service at the time of publication.
