Description
Class 800 with “Paddington Bear” wrapping.
The Class 800 is a bi-mode vehicle for intercity transport developed by Hitachi, Ltd. in Japan and manufactured at factories in Japan and the UK. The Class 800 belonging to GWR (Great Western Railway) has cars named after people connected to the railway, and the 800 010 train has ``Paddington Bear'' and the creator ``Michael Bond'' on both ends. The train was given the name ``Paddington Bear'' on the passenger door.
The exterior is beautifully recreated with illustrations of Paddington Bear, a character from the world-famous children's literature Paddington Bear, in various poses. We also recommend 5+5 combined operation that can be seen in actual vehicles in combination with conventional products.
