The British Rail Class 122 "Bubble Car" was a distinctive single-car DMU built by Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company in 1958. Twenty power cars and nine trailers served Western, London Midland, and Scottish regions for 35 years on branch lines including the famous Stourbridge Town shuttle. Powered by twin AEC 220 engines producing 300 bhp, these iconic vehicles earned their nickname from characteristic rounded cab windows. Eight examples survive in preservation. Dapol produces comprehensive models in N, OO, and O gauge across multiple BR liveries from Green through Blue/Grey to Regional Railways and departmental colours, while Heljan offers new TT:120 and O gauge ranges.
