Product Info
This hybrid train pack represents the final months of HST operation with East Midland Railway in 2021, when 43274 became the first and only Class 43 to carry the interim EMR purple aubergine livery.
Owned by Colas, it is still in service today. Meanwhile, 43102 was turned out in retro InterCity ‘Swallow’ livery in February 2021, recalling its record-setting feat with 43159, when they became the world’s fastest diesel locomotives attaining a speed of 148.5mph in November 1987. Withdrawn in May 2021, it is now part of the National Collection and on display at Shildon.
Our models feature NEM tension lock couplings, with the EMR locomotive sporting a stylish purple livery and the Intercity train painted in the iconic grey and white colours.
