With more than 550 separate parts and a list of features that sets a new benchmark for British ready-to-run O gauge, it's no exaggeration to say that this is the most detailed and sophisticated model we've ever produced. The icing on the cake is the superb decoration showcasing a range of attractive liveries from the long career of these Southern Region stalwarts.
Look out in the latest issues of Railway Modeller, Model Rail Magazine, BRM, Rail Express Modeller and Hornby Magazine for detailed reviews of this outstanding new model.
No fewer than 11 versions have been produced, covering a varied career of almost 60 years. Unfortunately Pullman 73101 will arrive slightly later than the rest of the batch as it has been held back for minor corrections to the ornate livery.
