About the prototype/model

The new Hornby Class 800 and 802 models are particularly noteworthy additions to our collection. These bi-mode multiple-unit passenger trains, designed by Hitachi, are operated by Great Western Railway, TransPennine Express, and Hull Trains. The Class 802, part of the Hitachi AT300 product family, is equipped with more powerful diesel engines and enlarged fuel tanks compared to its predecessor, the Class 800, allowing for extended travel on unelectrified tracks, especially on the GWR region. These models are highly detailed, featuring independently controlled lights, removable nose cones, and poseable pantographs, providing a realistic and enjoyable experience for model railway enthusiasts.
