Hitachi Class 800/0 GWR "Paddington Bear" 5-Car Set
£344.04
incl. VAT (20%)
Product Description
The Class 800 is a hybrid intercity train developed by Hitachi Ltd. of Japan and manufactured in both Japan and the UK. Among the Class 800 trains operated by Great Western Railway (GWR), some units are named after notable figures associated with the railway's route. Train set 800 010, for instance, is named after both "Paddington Bear" and his creator "Michael Bond," with each name displayed on opposite ends of the train. The passenger doors are wrapped with illustrations from the beloved children’s book and the exterior beautifully recreates illustrations of the globally famous character depicted in a variety of poses. We recommend combining this model with existing GWR 800 products to replicate the 5+5 coupled formation seen in real-life operations.
Features
Recreates the moss-green streamlined body, which features tapered ends to comply with structure gauge limitations, as well as the mechanical equipment on the roof and the orange warning pinstripe above the windows.
Differences from the existing 800 021 model, such as the presence or absence of white lining around the headlights on car E, and labeling differences on cars B, D, and E, are accurately represented.
Side destination indicators are depicted with a black background. Door switches and emergency door release devices located next to each door are printed on.
Equipped with a front-end coupling mechanism, allowing reproduction of the 10-car formation (5+5) as seen in real-life operation. To enable stable operation when coupling two sets, traction tires are not included in the powered cars.
All cars are equipped with wheels with realistic disc brake details.
Comes in a 5-car bookcase. The sleeve features a special design with the Paddington Bear character.
Accessories include: front-end coupler drawbars (long and short), headlight switch driver, display track (straight track 248mm ×3, straight track 186mm ×1, bumper track C ×1).
