News Bulletins

Welcome to the News Bulletin section of The Railcar Association. The bulletin was almost an online magazine, believed to be the only example dedicated to diesel railcars and related vehicles. The bulletin was produced every other month, six times a year. They are free to download (below) and are in PDF format. This online bulletin fran from January 2010 to March 2021, having been ressurected by Chris Moxon who was editor for 11 years (66 issues) before stepping down due to time constraints. Unfortunately we were unable to find anyone to take the bulletin forwards, so sadly it was discontinued.

The bulletin is currently dormant but the association would reinstate it if a new editor was willing to step into the role.

Original Bulletin
The original printed Monthly Bulletin ran for 96 issues from 1996 to 2004 and was started to establish better contact between DMU groups in pre mainstream internet days. It was a time when many DMUs were being preserved and their new owners were able to share advice, encouragement and spares.
