HOR R40232 Hornby FGW c. 2002. Mk3 Trailer First, 41131 - Era 10 2022 Catalogue
To accommodate speeds of 125 mph on British railroads, new rolling stock was essential for British Railways. Key enhancements over the Mk2 included new secondary air suspension and aerodynamic skirting. Mk3 Coaches not only provide greater capacity due to their 75ft (23m) length but also feature disk brakes and wheel slip protection for improved operational safety.
The inaugural Mk3 Coaches were deployed as part of the HST prototype alongside the Class 41 diesel power cars in 1972, entering service in 1975 with the Class 43 to form the iconic InterCity 125 trainset. Following FirstGroup's acquisition of Great Western Holdings, the Great Western Trains HST units were rebranded to First Great Western (FGW), featuring updated visuals like a new gold strip and FGW logos, alongside several new liveries introduced in subsequent years.
