Description
Both units were built at Crewe, being delivered in early 1979; 43309 on 20 January and 43315 on 10 March, but initially the vehicles were formed into different sets and numbered 43109 and 43115 respectively. Both have shared similar naming conventions, as Yorkshire Evening Press and Yorkshire Cricket Academy, then as Scone Palace and Aberdeenshire, but both are currently unnamed in LNER service.

Sign in or registerBeautiful LNER Liveried Class 43 HST
The Hornby Class 43 HST is a terrific model. In the current LNER livery it looks beautiful. I have retro-fitted sound to my model which elevates it to another level. Sad to think the real locos will soon have disappeared from the East Coast Mainline. I would thoroughly recommend this model to anyone modelling modern image. Expensive, yes, but it is a quality model.

Tidy little number
Picked this up at the HVC (Margate) last weekend. Tidy little number, but expensive ! Just short of £300 and no sound ??
