The British Rail Derby Lightweight diesel multiple units, were the first such trains to be built en-masse for British Railways. The units were built at BR’s Derby Works from 1954 to 1955. The units were built in various formations, including 12 power-twin 2-car units, 84 power-trailer 2-car units, four 4-car units, and two single car units.

These units were extremely successful, helping to reduce the operating costs of branchlines, attracting many more passengers when new. They carried 800,000 more passengers on the London Midland Region between February and October 1956 than steam did in the same period of 1955.
