Description
Hornby R4752A Virgin Rail East Coast Mk3 First Class Open Coach
Hornby R4752A Virgin East Coast MK3 FO
Developed in response to growing levels of passenger comfort on airlines and the increase in car usage during the 1960s, the first Mk3 coaches were built for the prototype High Speed Train in 1972 and in 2016 have come to be widely recognised as a safe and reliable design of passenger rolling stock.
The original Trailer First (TF), Trailer Second (TS), and Trailer Buffet Second (TRSB) coaches were delivered in HST sets for the Western Region with Trailer Guard Second (TGS) coaches following in 1980, following complaints from Guards regarding engine noise in the Guards’ compartments in the power cars. These TGS coaches replaced the last TS in all sets from 1980
