Description

This British N scale set represents the LNER Class 800/1 'Azuma', the nine-car Hitachi-built Intercity Express Train used on the East Coast Main Line. The real trains replaced older HST workings and are bi-mode units, able to work from overhead electric supply or by diesel-electric power away from the wires.

This DCC sound fitted version is supplied with Zimo sound decoders installed, giving a ready-to-run sound option for modellers who want the full nine-car Azuma formation without fitting decoders separately.
