The three-part diesel motor unit is a motor coach train manufactured in the Spanish factory "MACOSA", Barcelona in the 80th years. Yugoslav Railways bought 20 units and all of them were used in Macedonia; they served the following lines:

1. Skopje - Veles - Negotino Vardar - Gevgelija, after electrification (more than 20 years ago) they do not operate between Veles and Gevgelija any more
2. Skopje - Veles - Bogomila - Prilep - Bitola
3. Skopje - Veles - Bogomila - Prilep - Bakarno Gumno - Sapotnica
The section: Bakarno Gumno - Sapotnica is closed for the passenger train service
4. Skopje - Veles - Ovce Pole - Stip - Kocani - until 17.05.2004 - on this date the line Veles - Ovce Pole - Stip - Kocani was closed for passenger train service
5. Skopje - Tetovo - Gostivar - Kicevo

Four units were reconstructed: two in Serbia (in the factory "SINVOZ" in Zrenjanin) and two in Veles. They were refurbished and the driving motors were changed. Text from Slobodan Ilic.
