Description

The Class 800, which was introduced as a replacement for the old HST (diesel high-speed train) under the Intercity Rapid Transit Plan (IEP) being promoted in the UK, is designed to replace electrified sections under the company's "A-train" series concept. collects current from the pantograph as before, and in non-electrified sections, the engine and generator unit supply power to the motor, making it possible to operate directly between electrified and non-electrified sections.
Manufactured at the Kasado Works in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Hitachi Rail's UK factory, it is currently being used on the LNER (London North Eastern Railway), the UK's main line, nicknamed "AZUMA".

Class 800/1 is a 9-car train that has features that traditional 5-car trains do not have, such as an inner frame bogie, a simple roof top, and an intermediate car with all first-class passenger cars.

The front design is reminiscent of Kabuki shading. Enjoy the dynamic running of high-speed trains with the sound card <British Rail Class 800>.
This product will be commercialized in the British standard 1/148 scale.
