Product Info
WEB EXCLUSIVE
In August 1976, rail passengers travelling British Rail's Western Region experienced a new way to travel to the West Country, with the introduction of the High-Speed Train. By the end of the year, passengers could travel at 125mph between London Paddington and Reading. The new High-Speed Trains, in their eye-catching InterCity livery, were providing levels of comfort and service not seen since the golden years of the Great Western Railway.
Forty years on, and with the West Country routes once more under the control of the Great Western Railway, these record-breaking High-Speed Trains received a new GWR Green fleet livery running a fast service between London and the West Country.
This beautifully detailed high-speed GWR train set is a great option as it comes with everything you need to get started on your 00-gauge model railway journey, including:
- A motorised power car
- A dummy car
- A coach
- An oval of track and additional track pack
- MidiMat
- Power and controls
This Hornby Train Set is based on a Railroad specification. Railroad models are carefully designed to be less easily damaged while maintaining attractive detailing and accurate liveries.
