This OO gauge model represents a Class 438 4-TC unit, numbered 8007, as it appeared while operated by the British Rail Research Department. The model is designed for use on standard British model railway layouts.
The set is engineered with a 21-pin decoder interface to allow for digital control functionality. It captures the prototype characteristics of the four-coach trailer configuration used by the research department during the TOPS era.
