Hornby LNER Class 43 HST power cars 43315 and 43309 are supplied in a red and silver livery and measured at 470 mm in length. The model is finished to a pristine standard and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket and connector. It features a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, NEM couplings with tension lock, and can negotiate a minimum 2nd‑radius curve of 438 mm.
