DETAILS OF THE ITEM
MANUFACTURER: Hornby
CODE: R1023 (Part of Train Set)
TYPE: BR Mk 3
VEHICLE: Coach
CLASSIFICATION: TSO
RUNNING NUMBER: 42103
LIVERY: Virgin Red and Black
ERA: 9.Post-Privatisation (1995 – )
DESCRIPTION: Apart from hooks missing on the coupling units, even if showing, this item is complete and in near mint unboxed condition just a mark on one side, where the yellow line is facing in picture 5, having been split from the train set R1023 and is a scale length model rather than the common shorter version. It does not have buffers, even if showing, which would be correct as its number suggests it was intended to be used as part of an HST set. The item in the pictures is the actual item you will receive. (Ref: 1429)
[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.]
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.
LIVERYVirgin Trains, the first train operating company for both West Coast Main Line and Cross-Country on privatisation in 1997, initially used a livery of mainly red with some black for its fleet of locomotives and coaches, including its HST sets.
