DETAILS OF THE ITEM
MANUFACTURER: Hornby
CODE: R420
TYPE: BR Mk 3
VEHICLE: Coach
CLASSIFICATION: TSO
RUNNING NUMBER: 42
LIVERY: BR Beige and Grey with Red Stripe
ERA: 8.BR Sector (1982 – 1994)
DESCRIPTION: Apart from the hooks missing from its couplings this item is complete and in generally good unboxed condition as well as the usual barely noticeable visual cracking on some windows there are more noticeable markings usually in a certain area of the coach where the yellow lines are showing in the pictures, which should be studied prior to purchasing. It was made without buffers as it was intended to be used as part of an HST set, whereas the inclusion of buffers would allow it to be in a rake of locomotive-hauled Mk 2 and/or 3 coaches. The item in the pictures is the actual item you will receive. If there is more than one item they are considered to be identical for listing purposes. (Ref: 1395/1396/1397/1464)
[Please note that the Hornby codes showing cannot in all cases be guaranteed to be the actual code and are sometimes given purely as a guide. You are advised to contact us if you have any concerns. IMPORTANT: All Hornby Mk 3 coaches listed are the more common shorter length unless specifically stated ‘Scale length’ and R439-0020 on their chassis is the code for a part – nothing at all to do with the manufacturer’s code for the coach as some sellers indicate.]
DESIGN: HST’s began replacing earlier Type 4 and Type 5 diesels on all principal non-electrified routes in the mid to late 1970’s. Forty years on, sets of eight Mk 3 coaches with a diesel power car at each end operate on all non-electrified main lines, Great Western, Midland Main Line and Cross Country, as well as services out of Euston and Kings Cross where only part of the route is electrified. Probably the most successful product of the diesel age, forecasts suggest they could be in service for another thirty years.
LIVERYThere was a further and final change of coach livery under British Rail. There was a further and final livery change of coach livery under British Rail in 1982 from blue and grey to one of the new sector liveries. Beige and grey or black with a red stripe became standard for Inter-City services.
