Main Products
The vast majority of BREL's output was for British Rail. These included the British Rail Mark 2 and British Rail Mark 3 carriages, the latter being built either for locomotive haulage or part of InterCity 125 diesel High Speed Trains. BREL also built the NIR 80 Class diesel-electric multiple units for Northern Ireland Railways. Other Mark 3 derived vehicles included the British Rail Class 150 diesel multiple units built in the 1980s, plus numerous electric multiple units (such as Class 313 and Class 317).
BREL had limited success in the export market, notably with Mark 2 and Mark 3 carriages for Irish Rail plus some carriages for Taiwan.

“Literature does not exist in a vacuum. Writers as such have a definite social function exactly proportional to their ability as writers. This is their main use.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
