The DP class of rail cars were operated from 1937 by the Tasmanian Government Railways (TGR). The early members of this class of rail cars were petrol powered, wooden-bodied rail motors while the latter units were articulated units. One unit of this class was maintained as a track inspection vehicle through to 1996.
