R30104 BR, Class 370 Advanced Passenger Train, Sets 370001 and 370002, 5-car Pack - Era 7
Product Info
Our newest model replicas of the Advanced Passenger Train are our best yet. Following feedback on our older designs, we’ve remoulded this iconic train and created a model that faithfully represents the original.
The R30104 is a highly detailed update of an old favourite. Eagle-eyed hobbyists will notice the improved NDM motor pivot mounts, the redesigned cab for enhanced accuracy, the strengthened pantograph, and the redesigned lighting PCB.
We’ve also added a few upgrades of our own. Magnetic couplings and crew figures make for a more enjoyable model railway experience. And, of course, you’ll love our improved 21-pin decoder fitment and HM7000 compatibility.

History
The idea behind the APT was solid. Engineers wanted to create a train that was faster and more efficient than anything else available at the time. Their plans were ambitious – the trains included a computerised tilting system that could effortlessly navigate the tight turns of Britain’s ageing railways, speeding up journeys by 40%!
The first APT-P rolled onto the railways in 1979. They were continuously developed until 1987, with mixed reactions, including a period of passenger service between 1983 and 1985. When the cheaper IC125 HST made its way onto the tracks, the APT was withdrawn, deemed too unreliable, expensive, and complex to compete.
But the APT legacy continues. The IC225 programme used elements from the design, as did the world-famous tilting Alstom Pendolino trains that still operate today on the West Coast mainline.
