Manufacturer description
A colourful symbol of inclusivity, this attractive Class 755/4 'FLIRT' train pack features an iconic Pride livery, as seen on the real-life train that runs throughout the Greater Anglia network.
The Class 755 bi-mode multiple unit trains are built by Stadler Rail for Greater Anglia and are part of the highly configurable FLIRT modular train family, designed for greater capacity and long-distance comfort.
The Class 755 entered service on the 29th July 2019, having been delivered to Greater Anglia the previous November. On Wednesday 23rd April 2014, Greater Anglia revealed the new Pride livery Class 755.
Powered with two 5-pole motors, directional lighting, illuminated destination boards, door open lights and cab and footstep lighting, you won't miss this train as it moves around your model railway layout. It also has three 21-pin decoder sockets - a minimum of two decoders are required for DCC sound-running and an optional third decoder can be used to control the HM7000 enhanced bass speaker if fitted.
