Manufacturer description

Celebrate Railway 200 with the 'Javelin', a train that still delivers high-speed services on the HS1. This modern day delight is ideal for modellers that create scenes they can see in real life. This train pack includes a power car, a dummy car and two coaches. Plus it's DCC-ready, so you can upgrade to HM7000.

History

The ‘Javelin’ is part of the Hitachi AT300 family of dual voltage trains used for high-speed commuter services along HS1 between London St Pancras and Ashford and other key routes under the Southeastern franchise. Twenty-nine six-car sets were delivered from Hitachi’s Kasado Works in Japan between 2007 and 2009.

Running on the 750v DC third-rail supply, they can attain speeds of up to 100mph (160km/h), and on 25kV AC power overhead lines, 140mph (225km/h). Set 395015 has received special vinyl coverings to mark the 200th anniversary of the first passenger train to be hauled on a public railway.
