Manufacturer description
Bundle Expected: November 2022*
In an attempt to revitalise the home-grown tourist industry in a post-lockdown Britain, Rail Charter Services have introduced their new 'Staycation Express' service in the northwest. Making three return trips between Skipton in West Yorkshire and Appleby in Cumbria, the 'Staycation Express' provides passengers with spectacular views of the Yorkshire Dales, traveling over the famous Settle and Carlisle Railway. The service ran every day, except Sundays, allowing holidaymakers plenty of flexibility for a trip.
The train consisted of two iconic Class 47 locomotives and a set of Mk3 and Mk2 coaches.
As an exclusive item, the train is now available to customers via Hornby.com only. Once assembled, the train includes a DCC Sound fitted loco, a second motorised loco, and 5 coaches in the authentic livery.

* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.
