Historical Background

Built on the proven Hitachi AT300 platform, the Class 800 is a bi-mode intercity train designed to operate seamlessly on both electrified and non-electrified routes. In service with Great Western Railway as Intercity Express Trains (IETs) and with the London North Eastern Railway as Azumas, the Class 800 family represents the next generation of long-distance passenger travel in the UK.

This model depicts a Motor Second (Standard Class) coach, one of five vehicles that form a complete Class 800 set. It features the proposed Great British Railways livery, expected to appear as part of the national branding rollout, offering modellers a forward-looking interpretation of Britain’s evolving rail identity.

With its sleek profile, modern detailing, and future-focused design, this OO Scale coach is perfect for modellers who want to capture both the present and the next chapter of British railway history.
