Manufacturer description
This attractive train pack features the eye-catching COP26 livery, allowing you to show your support for action against climate change while running your model railway layout. The four-car pack includes a power car, a dummy car and two coaches, and the power car is DCC-ready, should you wish to upgrade to HM7000.
History
First introduced in July 2002 for high-speed electric passenger services, 53 eight-car units were initially built for use on the West Coast Main Line and leased from Angel Trains.
They went to Virgin Trains at first, but in December 2019, they transferred to Avanti West Coast. Four more of the tilting sets were added to the fleet between 2010 and 2012.
From 2012, 31 of the original units were increased to 11-coach sets, including 390121, which was decorated in a special ‘Ride Against Climate Change’ livery for Glasgow Cop26 in 2021.
