Introducing the Hornby BR Mk4 Standard Coach B, a meticulously designed model that captivates train enthusiasts and collectors alike. This exquisite coach pays homage to the iconic British Rail Mk4 series, highlighting its vital role in the evolution of rail transport. Manufactured by Metro-Cammell between 1989 and 1992, these coaches were crucial in enhancing passenger comfort on the electrified East Coast Main Line.
The Mk4 Coach B features intricate detailing and authentic livery, embodying the spirit of Era 8 railways. Equipped with modern enhancements such as push-button operated plug-type doors and fully sealed gangways, this model reflects the innovative designs that enabled an impressive top speed of 140mph. The elegantly profiled sides, designed to allow a tilt of up to 6°, are meticulously replicated, making this coach a remarkable tribute to the pioneering era of British rail travel.
Whether you're expanding your Hornby collection or creating an impressive railway diorama, the BR Mk4 Standard Coach B is an ideal addition to any Scalextric or model railway set. Elevate your layout with this authentic representation of a coach that has navigated decades of British rail history.
The Hornby BR Mk4 Standard Coach B - Era 8, model number HOR R40191, is a testament to the engineering advancements of its time. A total of 314 Mk4 coaches were produced at Metro-Cammell's Washwood Heath factory for the newly electrified East Coast Main Line, introducing numerous improvements over the Mk3 models.
Mk4 coaches entered service in 1989, significantly boosting passenger capacity. Following the privatization of British Rail in 1996, all Mk4 coaches were sold to Evershot Rail Group and leased to operators under the InterCity East Coast Franchise. An extensive refurbishment program known as 'Project Mallard' was undertaken by Bombardier Transportation between 2003 and 2005, which included new seating configurations and the introduction of onboard Wi-Fi services.
Though originally deployed on the East Coast Main Line, there are plans to utilize Mk4 coaches on additional routes with the arrival of Class 800 and Class 801 Intercity Express Trains (IEPs).
