An iconic train linked with an instantly recognised livery! Virgin Trains have been a force on the rail network for several years offering a dynamic service and using dynamic trains. The Virgin HSTs were once a common sight on the West Coast Main Line between 1996 and 2004, and for many these trains were the ideal synergy between two instantly recognized design icons.

Note that these units are only suitable for operation on second radius curved track or greater.

1 HST High Speed Train Power Car

Coaches are not include in the pack and will need to be purchased separately

The totally new Class 43 High Speed Train HST drive and dummy units are a superb match for the Hornby Mk3 Coaches. Each drive and dummy unit benefits from the latest in design and production techniques with detail features both inside and outside the model being reproduced to the finest degree. The power in the drive unit is supplied by a centrally mounted five pole skew wound motor which is connected to both bogies for maximum tractive effort. Both units have lights which illuminate in the direction of travel when used with analogue control, however, when used with a digital unit these lights can be operated independently.

Please note: Contrary to the instructions included with the new Hornby HST packs and before operating the model, remove both the transit brackets and screws, these items can then be discarded.

Digital DCC Fitted - locomotive has a factory fitted Digital Decoder. We do not recommend that this locomotive is used on a traditional DC operated layout.
