39-803BR Mk1 BSO Brake Second Open BR Blue & Grey
he British Railways Mk1 was the designation given to BR’s first standard design of main line coaching stock, and one of its most successful. Built from 1951 until the early 1960s to augment and replace the array of ‘Big Four’ and earlier ‘pre-grouping’ designs inherited from the LMS, LNER, GWR and SR, BR took the best features from several of these types to produce the new steel-bodied design. As a result, the Mk1 was stronger and safer than any of the inherited types that came before.

R1290Tri-ang Railways Remembered: RS9 'Intercity Express' Train Set
Our ‘Tri-ang Hornby Remembered’ set recreates the nostalgia of the original, using the same artwork on the box lid, and includes the BR green-liveried locomotive with its small yellow warning panels, which were typical of the time, plus Pullman Cars ‘Jane’ and ‘Ruth’, and Pullman brake ‘No.7’.
Back in the 1960s, the track in Tri-ang Hornby train sets was the new Super 4 system introduced in 1962, but today’s recreation has current Hornby trackwork, comprising of a 1st radius starter oval of track, power clip and uncoupling ramp.
Historically Tri-ang train sets didn’t include a controller and therefore this collectable re-creation of the historic train set also doesn’t contain a controller.
