Hornby will be producing exclusively for Modelzone, models of the East Coast Mainline Class 43 HST and appropriate Mk3 coaches.
The HST will be of the latest design featuring twin drive and 5 pole motor which will be more than capable of hauling the relevant East Coast Main Line Mk3 stock.
The exclusive Mk3 coaches will include Open First, Open Tourist, a TGS and a Buffet.
Hornby have worked closely with East Coast Main Line in producing models for their press and TV campaign and therefore have had exclusive access to official livery designs.
Commenting on the exclusive Modelzone arrangement, Simon Kohler, Hornby Marketing Manager said, "We have over the years produced exclusive models for Modelzone but this is the first time that we have produced a whole train!" Simon continued, "The train looks absolutely stunning and I know from conversations I have had with enthusiasts around the UK that it is one that is in great demand."
