Historical Background

The Class 800 is part of the Hitachi AT300 bi-mode train family, designed to operate seamlessly across both electrified and non-electrified routes. Introduced as part of the Intercity Express Programme, these trains replaced the InterCity 125 High Speed Trains on services such as Great Western Railway (where they are branded as Intercity Express Trains) and operate as Azumas on the East Coast Main Line.

This model represents a Motor Second (Standard Class) coach, one of the five vehicles that form a complete Class 800 unit. Finished in the proposed Great British Railways livery, it reflects the planned unified national branding expected to appear on UK rolling stock during the mid-2020s, showcasing a modern, cohesive identity for Britain’s rail network.

With its sleek high-speed profile and future-facing design, this OO Scale coach is ideal for modellers looking to represent the evolution of British intercity rail travel into the GBR era.
