The pack contains a single locomotive (BR Standard 7 “Britannia” 70013 Oliver Cromwell) and four British Railways Mark 1 coaches. All components are supplied in a pristine finish and are ready for use on Hornby’s Era 5 system.

The locomotive is numbered 70013 and named Oliver Cromwell. It is presented in a lined green livery with the late British Railways crest. The model measures 287 mm in length, rides on a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, and includes an 8‑pin DCC ready socket. It negotiates a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (2nd radius). The real locomotive was built between 1951 and 1954 at Crewe Works to the design of Robert Riddles, with a 4‑6‑2 wheel arrangement, and a total of 55 were produced. Hornby part number R3607 represents the late crest period of British Railways.

The four coaches are all Mark 1 types and are supplied in a pristine finish:
- Coach 1: Maroon livery, running number E9223, length 265 mm, classified as BSO (Brake Standard Open).
- Coach 2: Blue & Grey livery, running number M4995, length 265 mm, classified as TSO (Tourist Standard Open).

- Coach 4: BR green livery with late crest, running number (unspecified), length 265 mm, classified as TSO (Tourist Standard Open).
