Prototype/History

The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (formerly classes 253 and 254) power cars, built by British Rail Engineering Limited from 1975 to 1982, and in service in the UK since 1976. The class is officially the fastest diesel locomotive in the world, with an absolute maximum speed of 148.5 mph (239.0 km/h), and a regular service speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). The record run was led by 43102 (43302) and trailed by 43159.

Rail Adventure is a company based in Munich (founded in 2006) and in 2021 eight class 43 power cars were purchased and turned into three double car units (with two being used as spares). These units are used to move freight and engineering equipment around the UK.
