Hornby Mk4 Open First Coach M GNER 11417

Introduced for the newly electrified East Coast Main Line, the Mk4 coach became a key part of InterCity East Coast services from 1989. Hornby’s Mk4 Open First Coach M GNER 11417 recreates this later-generation British Rail design as an authentically replicated model railway coach, reflecting the Mk4’s role through the privatisation era when stock was sold to Evershot Rail Group and leased to successive franchise operators.

Built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath between 1989 and 1992, the Mk4 fleet brought notable advances over the Mk3, including push-button operated plug-type doors and fully sealed gangways, with a design influenced by the Advanced Passenger Train. A major refurbishment programme ran from October 2003 to November 2005 under contract from GNER, introducing new seating arrangements and onboard Wi‑Fi as part of ‘Project Mallard’.
