R40036A Hornby Mk3 Trailer First Coach H number 41009

Add To Comparison

R40036A Hornby Mk3 Trailer First Coach H number 41009 in First Great Western livery - Era 10.

In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain’s Victorian era railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways. Significant improvements over the Mk2 included new secondary air suspension between the bogies and the coach body as well as aerodynamic skirting on the underframe. Mk3 coaches are 75ft (23m) long enabling far greater capacity than older coaches. Mk3 coaches also incorporate disk breaks and wheel slip protection enabling faster deceleration.

The first Mk3 coaches to be delivered were used as part of the HST prototype along with the two Class 41 diesel power cars in 1972. Mk3 coaches entered service in 1975 along with the Class 43 forming the iconic InterCity 125 trainset.

After the HST Mk3 coach variant was introduced, further Mk3 coaches were introduced to the West Coast Mainline for use as part of locomotive hauled trains. Whilst Mk3 stock is standard for HST units, the standard locomotive hauled stock is Mk3a. Mk3a stock differs from Mk3 stock due to the inclusion of buffers as well as a different electrical system that uses motor generator units in each coach to power air conditioning and other ancillaries Mk3a stock was built until 1984, before 3B stock with improved seating and lighting was built from 1985 to 1988.

In 1996, as a result of the privatisation of British Rail, The InterCity Great Western franchise was awarded to Great Western Trains who in 1998 became First Great Western (FGW). FGW operated Mk3 coaches in HST car-sets from London Paddington to various locations in the west, south wales and south-west. FGW was rebranded as Great Western Railways in September 2015 and in 2017 started to replace its InterCity 125 sets with new Hitachi Class 800 and 802 sets.
