Hornby’s range of TT:120 scale passenger rolling stock continues to develop with the addition of essential HST Mk3 carriages. Decorated in GNER blue livery, this Trailer First is an essential component of any HST formation.

The British Rail Mk3 formed a new generation of carriage design that revolutionized train travel in the UK and remains in service to this day. Delivered in HST (Mk3) and loco-hauled (Mk3a) variants, the new carriages included advanced systems for suspension, braking and air conditioning. Entering into service in 1975, the Mk3s are synonymous with the ground breaking Class 43 HSTs which operated in sets of between six and nine Mk3s.

The Hornby TT:120 Mk3 range includes Trailer First Open (TFO) as 41170 in GNER blue livery carried by the ECML operated sets between 1996-2007. Accurately featuring flush tinted glazing, the new Mk3 TFO includes a fully detailed interior and realistic tampo printed decoration. 

Intended to run with Hornby’s impressive Class 43 HST power cars (TT3047M). With few trains as iconic as the HST, replicating a full train is straightforward and a must for any sectorisation (era 8) TT:120 scale layout. 

Product highlights include:

• GNER Mk3 Trailer First Open 41170 
• Kinematic couplings for reliable running
• Fine detail and accurate printed decoration
• Suitable for the 1996-2007 period on the ECML (era 9)
