Railway Models
When the units were first introduced, Hurst models produced a detailing kit to convert a Dapol model of a 155 into a 153.
The Class 153 has been produced in OO scale by Hornby. The following liveries are/were available; Central Trains, First Northern Star, Northern Rail, Regional Railways, East Midlands Trains, London Midland City and Great Scenic Railways of Wessex and Cornwall (Wessex Trains). These models have been praised for their detail.
More recently, Dapol have announced a N Scale version.
Making Tracks have a digital model available for the PC Railway simulator Microsoft Train Simulator.
Just Trains have recently released a digital model for the PC railway simulator Railworks.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or models:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
