Hornby TT:120 Class 43 HST GNER Train Pack – A Modern Classic in Miniature

A true icon of British high-speed rail travel, the Class 43 HST (High Speed Train) revolutionised long-distance passenger services—and now it’s been brought to life in Hornby’s TT:120 scale with stunning accuracy and detail. This newly tooled train pack perfectly captures the sleek form and dynamic style of the HST during its service with the Great North Eastern Railway (GNER).

The Set Includes:

• 43120 (powered) and 43115 (unpowered) power cars, finished in GNER’s distinctive blue livery with red stripes and gold lettering.

• A 5-pole skew-wound motor in 43120, delivering powerful and smooth performance.

• DCC Ready 18-pin socket for easy digital conversion.

• Directional lighting and interior lighting in the passenger compartments for enhanced realism.

• NEM tension lock couplings for seamless connection with matching rolling stock.

To build out your high-speed passenger service, pair this set with Hornby’s TT:120 GNER Mk3 coaches, faithfully recreated to match the train’s original formations.

The GNER Legacy

Operating the InterCity East Coast franchise from 1996 to 2007, GNER ran services between London, Yorkshire, the North East, and Scotland. The company inherited a fleet of Class 43 HST power cars and Mk3 carriages from British Rail, which it refurbished and re-liveried in a striking blue and red corporate scheme.

While Class 91 electric locomotives served on electrified sections, the HSTs remained a mainstay on non-electrified routes, admired for their reliability and speed. Power cars 43120 and 43115—included in this pack—were among those inherited and were quickly repainted in GNER colours, forming a vital part of the company’s early fleet.

Whether you're recreating a modern mainline layout or simply celebrating one of the most recognisable trains in British rail history, the Hornby TT:120 GNER HST Train Pack delivers performance, authenticity, and style in equal measure.
