Hornby Railroad BR, Class 43 HST InterCity
Train Pack - Era 8
Product Code: R30177
Production Details:
Originally conceived as a cheaper,
more reliable alternative to the Advanced Passenger
Train in the early 1970s, the British Railways Board
authorised the development of a prototype High Speed
Diesel Train, with two locomotives designated as Class
41. Following problems with operational ease, unit
formations were abandoned and the Class 43 locomotive
prefix was adopted. The 197 Class 43 power cars produced
between 1976 and 1982 were numbered 43002 to 43198 and
are officially the fastest diesel units in the world.
