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:
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.

The Hornby GWR High Speed Train Set is a model train set designed for OO gauge enthusiasts. It features a 5 pole skew wound motor and is DCC ready with an 8 pin socket. The set includes a locomotive and two coaches, all with a green livery.
The locomotive is a representation of the British Rail Class 43 "HST", a high-speed train introduced in 1975 and used by the Great Western Railway. The coaches are modelled on the British Railways Mark 3 design, with one coach classified as a Tourist Standard Open (TSO) and the other as a Driving Van Trailer (DVT).
The model train set is designed to be durable and less prone to damage, with a minimum radius curve of 3rd radius (505mm) and a length of 470mm for the locomotive and 598mm for the coaches. The set is suitable for use on a model railway layout and is a great option for those looking to recreate the high-speed trains of the 1970s and 1980s.
The Hornby GWR High Speed Train Set is a high-quality model that is designed to provide a realistic and immersive experience for model railway enthusiasts. It is based on a Railroad specification, which means it is designed to be durable and less prone to damage while still maintaining attractive detailing and accurate liveries.
The introduction of the High-Speed Train in 1976 revolutionised rail travel in the West Country, providing passengers with fast and comfortable services. The Great Western Railway has since reintroduced the High-Speed Train with a new GWR Green fleet livery, offering a fast service between London and the West Country.
