Take a closer look at the Hornby Railways BR High Speed Retro Train Set (R1289M) as we unbox one of Hornby's most nostalgic releases. Inspired by the classic R.685 train set, this modern recreation captures the look and feel of the iconic InterCity 125 era while benefiting from today's tooling and detail. The set includes a powered Class 43 HST power car, a dummy power car, a Mk3 coach, track, controller and everything needed to get started.
