Our system needs a price in the box to open pre-orders, so the price listed is our current educated guess, but will be subject to currency fluctuations, final volumes etc and is still to be confirmed. We will let you know when we get confirmation of UK RRP for these models.

This item uses Train Trax's website pre-order function.  For simplicity of processing, each product will need to be placed on a separate pre-order as they will probably arrive at different times. If more than one pre-order does arrive at a similar time then it will be possible to combine shipping charges.

Add to your basket as normal. You can then choose to provide card details to be held securely by the preferred payment provider 'Stripe' ready for when the item arrives. You will not be charged until despatch.

If you don't want to provide card details up-front, please choose 'Pay Later'. This just enables me to receive details of your order and no payment needs to be made at this time. You will receive an acknowledgment of your order. I will send an invoice when your order is passing through UK Customs, you can then pay the invoice online using any card or BACS.

You may see the item marked in stock on my website, this merely indicates I have pre-ordered sufficient stock to fulfil your order.

Non UK Customers: UK VAT will be automatically deducted from your invoice, you will however be liable for any taxes in your country.

Details

TPE provides passenger services on regional and inter-city routes across Northern England and Scotland. Kato’s new model is based on the Class 802/2 Nova 1 train, which was introduced as part of the Nova fleet in late 2019. The Nova 1 trains were designed to increase TPE’s route coverage and capacity. They primarily operate on services connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Edinburgh.

KATO is producing these models using their existing Class 800 tooling suite. The real trains are all part of Hitachi’ s “A-train” family and may differ slightly in roof details, interior layouts, or window arrangements. With the agreement of the respective train operating companies, these models are based on KATO's existing Class 800 design, allowing them to recreate these trains efficiently while still reflecting their unique liveries.
