Hornby GWR Hitachi IEP Bi‑Mode Class 800/0 'Paddington' Livery Five‑Car Train Pack – Era 11 is a model railway set representing a current‑era Great Western Railway bi‑mode train. The livery reflects the 2015 GWR colour scheme and the model is built to the Era 11 specifications.

The pack includes a DCC‑ready unit with an eight‑pin socket, a minimum curve radius of 3, and power pickup limited to the power car. Coupling uses NEM as well as a proprietary system, allowing multiple units to be coupled together.

The model was produced between 2014 and 2018 by Hitachi at its Kasado pre‑production facility and at Newton Aycliffe for the main production run. It carries the Hornby part number R3691 and represents the current era of British rail operation.
