Hornby Mk3 TS LNER 42235

Built for 125 mph running on Britain’s railways, the Mk3 coach became a key part of the InterCity 125 story. This Hornby Mk3 TS LNER 42235 model railway coach represents the type of rolling stock introduced with major advances over the Mk2, including secondary air suspension between the bogies and coach body, aerodynamic underframe skirting, and braking and wheel slip protection systems that supported faster deceleration.

Mk3 coaches first appeared with the HST prototype in 1972 and entered service in 1975 alongside the Class 43, forming the InterCity 125 trainset. In later years, LNER inherited IC 125 sets following the re-nationalisation of the InterCity East Coast franchise, with the last LNER-operated IC 125 running on a farewell tour at the end of 2019. A fitting addition for an LNER-themed rake, this coach suits layouts inspired by modern East Coast Main Line operations and the closing chapter of the IC 125 era.
