TT4043A Hornby HST Mk3 Trailer Standard TS Coach number 42243 - GNER

Representing the golden age of Great North Eastern Railway’s express services, this coach is finished in the striking deep blue and red livery that became synonymous with luxury and efficiency on the East Coast Main Line. Designed for comfort and speed, this model captures every detail, from the accurately applied GNER branding to the carefully moulded interior, recreating the experience of intercity journeys at speeds of up to 125mph. Carrying the running number 42243, this coach was part of the iconic High-Speed Train sets that revolutionised long-distance travel on the East Coast Main Line. The GNER HST MK3 TS pairs seamlessly with other TT:120 Mk3 coaches and power cars, bringing authenticity and prestige to any modern-era railway.

BR developed the Mark 3 in response to improved comfort provided by airline companies and the convenience provided by the family car, both of which were taking traffic away from the railways in the early 1970s. Originally conceived as locomotive-hauled stock, the first to be produced were for the prototype HST in 1972. The first production vehicles entered service in 1975 and continued to be built until 1988. Although outwardly similar to the Mark 2 carriage, it is of a completely different design, having a ridged roof and under-frame skirt, whereas its predecessor had a smooth roof and visible below-frame equipment. The body is 75ft-long (23m), which is 10ft (3m) longer than the Mk2. It is also of full monocoque construction (one piece body shell) with an all-welded mild steel, stressed skin. To give it a superior smooth ride, it also has secondary air suspension and disk-brakes fitted to the wheels (rather than clasp brakes) which allow for running at speeds of up to 125mph (200km/h) and efficient deceleration. The Mk3 HST coaches differ from the Mk3A loco-hauled coaches mainly in terms of the electrical arrangements, but are otherwise much the same. These HST coaches take their supply from a three-phase electrical supply directly from an auxiliary alternator in the power car, whereas the Mk3A convert the single-phase AC supply from the locomotive through motor generator units under the floor, which change the train supply to three-phase.
