    rolling stock ....can be carriages or wagons - basically anything hauled by a locomotive

    coaching stock....passenger carrying vehicles.

    rail car.....a self propelled passenger carriage petrol or, more commonly, diesel powered.

    dmu.....diesel multiple unit... a diesel powered railcar.

    I imagine Wiki could have provided the answers.
