British Rail experimented with Mirrlees Blackstone MB190 engines in four Western region examples (4316743170) between 1987 and 1996, but this experiment was unsuccessful and the standard Paxman Valenta engines re-installed. 19751982 The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification for the InterCity 125 (Formerly Class 253 and Class 254) powercars, built by BREL (British Rail Engineering Limited) at their Crewe Works from 1975-1982. The first visit of Colas Rail's former LNER HST power cars on the Cotswold Line took place on 3 November 2021, when 43251 & 43272 worked the 1Z22 07:45 Derby RTC to Bristol Kingsland Road Network Rail test train. It comprised eight Mark 3 coaches with a Class 43 diesel power car at each end. British Rail decided to participate in a trial. Powercar 43018 after the 1995 Royal Oak Crash. Tractive Effort: 17,890Lb/f 80kn Maximum, 10,340 Lb/f 46kn Continuous. During the late 1990s twenty-five HST power cars were re-engined with Paxman 12VP185L engines in order to improve fuel consumption and reduce emissions, but these engines have proved less reliable in service than hoped. The power cars were fitted with buffers and time-division multiplex equipment that allowed them to directly control a Class 91, and were moved over to the ECML where they were used on workings with Class 89 and then Class 91 locomotives from London to Leeds. In service Gauge: Standard gauge - 1,435mm - 4ft 8.5inches. 43046 and 43055 have been refurbished as a recreation of the Midland Pullman train. A the same time First Great Western had the MK3 passenger trailers refurbished at Brush Barclay Works in Kilmarnock, Scotland. By Maljonic. Bo-Bo [100] The group later purchased 43044 from Porterbrook in 2021,[55] with 43159 being donated in June that year. 43060 has being noted to have problems with the cylinder seals of it's VP185 engine, making the power car extremely smokey in service. However the APT was ultimately a failure after the tilting mechanism got jammed at high speed, with members of the British Press onboard causing, nausea and vomiting for those onboard, leading to negative publicity and killing the APT project. 329.00. 28/03/2018 in Fleet. Several locomotives and passenger trains also appeared, such as 150 247 and 166 214 both in their new GWR liveries, 158 798 in its Springboard Opportunity Group livery and the prototype Class 41 HST. When the APT project failed the HST became the flagship of British Rail. Length over coupling faces: 17.79 metres (58.4ft), Fuel Capacity: 990ImpGal \ 1190 US Gal \ 4500Litre. As an out-bound train, the train (a 3-car turbo class 165 'Turbo' diesel unit) would have been routed onto the Down Main line at Ladbroke Grove. As a result of the crash, all trains operating on the GWML must be fitted with an ATP system and have its AWS operational. Their HST's also supplemented their Class 91 electric locomotives, on the fully electrified London King's Cross to Newark North Gate, York, Leeds, Bradford Forster Square, Skipton, Newcastle, and Edinburgh Waverley services. Colas Rail currently operate a fleet of two former East Midland Railway power cars, and a rake of 4 Mk2 coaches. The high structural integrity of the Mark 3 coaches prevented a much higher death toll, plus the fact that the more lightly loaded first-class coaches were at the leading end of the train. The increased speed and rapid acceleration and deceleration of the HST made it ideal for passenger use, and it slashed journey times around the country. The Midland Pullman Powercars have been modified to include high output headlight, marker lights (including third marker light), and tail lights. This is for property acquired for use after March 21, 2016, that has not been used or acquired for use before March 22, 2016. By CraigMatthews. It is formed of 2 Class 43 Power Cars and 4/5 Mk3 coaches. 363.00 Pre-Order Now. They will operate on services from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Aberdeen and Inverness. [4] The loan agreement ended in November 2019 and 41001 returned to the NRM. Add to basket. The withdrawals are expected to take place over a two year period.[30]. When the Cross Country franchise passed from Virgin Cross Country to Arriva Cross Country in 2007, Arriva decide to re-introduce HST's to it's fleet in response to passenger feedback and over-crowding. Number built This train was released as an admin train initially, and was released to the public during Spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown measures. Along with the Australian XPT Powercars "StraightFace", and the Prototype HST Powercars (Class 41). These bogies would later be used under the MK4 coaches hauled by Class 91 electric locomotives. The East Coast HST relegated the 100mph Deltic locomotives to secondary services, and led to their eventual retirement in January 1982. [40], The University of Birmingham used 43056 for use as a research & development vehicle. However, in the interim period it (Flying Scotsman) was decided to run a connecting service on the West Coast Mainline from Manchester Piccadilly, and from Edinburgh Waverley via the East Coast Mainline to the Eurostar terminal at London Waterloo. 193 of the 197 locomotives built remain in service. The successful results of the test cleared the way for installation of a VP185 in Power Car 43170 at Plymouth Laira Depot for in-service trials in the summer of 1994. The High Speed Train (HST) is also known as an InterCity 125 (because of its top operating speed of 125mph) and comprises two Class 43 power cars and a set of Mark 3 carriages. Class 20: D8096 / 20096 - BR Green. Statement from Ixion Model Railways Ltd. GWR, Class 43 HST, 'Meningitis Trust Support for Life' Train Pack - Era 11. This service was operated using HST's sub-leased from Intercity Cross Country, the shadow franchise which preceded Virgin Cross Country. is almost parallel with the HST fleet. Note that while the Class 43 can hauls MK2 coaches using its AAR coupler, it cannot supply ETS power as the MK2 coaches use standard 1000v DC supply. The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (formerly Classes 253 and 254) power cars, built by British Rail Engineering Limited from 1975 to 1982, and in service in the UK since 1976. Abellio is due to take over the Scotrail franchise from First Group in early 2015, with the HST sets been introduced in 2017. Causing the stranded hopper wagons to come to a halt. These sets are known as Inter7City, and are used on services from Edinburgh, and Glasgow to Aberdeen, and Inverness, and from Aberdeen to Inverness. Working Headlights. The power cars had a main driver's position at one aerodynamically shaped end with the other flat and gangwayed end having only an auxiliary driving position for shunting purposes. The FULL list of where HST power cars are due to be used, and what '43s' will go off-lease. They have an operating speed of 125 mph. Virgin gave up their HST sets when new Class 220 and 221, Voyager and Super Voyager Sets were introduced, with the last Virgin HST service operating in late 2003. Hornby R30204. 43001 was applied to the second of the two prototype power cars, while the first of the pair (now preserved at the NRM; formerly operational on the GCR) became 43000, which is unusual because BR TOPS classification numbered its locomotives from 001 upwards (this was because it was not, at the time, classified as a locomotive). This test was carries out from December 1993 to February 1994 by British Rail and pushed the engines far harder than they ever would in service, as in service they would be rated at 2,250bhp.

To power the HST at up to 125mph (201km/h), each power car had a new diesel engine, the 12-cylinder Paxman Valenta, running at 1,500rpm and developing 2,250bhp (1,680kW). These sets were, at the time considered to be Diesel Multiple Unit Trains of fixed formation, and designated as Class 253. Three coaches in 800109 derailed as a result and was taken to Doncaster for repairs. Buffered, exported to Germany September 2021. An investigation into the Ladbroke Grove Rail Crash carried out after the crash, found that the driver of the Thames Turbo, 31-year-old Michael Hodder (who was also killed in the crash) had passed a red signal at signal set numbered SN109, (located on Gantry 8 overhead, next to four other signals serving the other rail lines). When Crewe Works built them, the InterCity 125 units were considered to be diesel multiple units, and were allocated Classes 253 and 254 for Western and Eastern Region services respectively. 197 production powercars were produced, numbered 43002-43198. Former East Midlands Railway became off-lease. The coaches also had their buffers removed. The Department for transport set up the publicly own company "Directly Operated Railways" who have run the Intercity East Coast from November 2009, and will do so until March 2015 when the franchise will be reprivatized and handed over to Virgin Trains East Coast, a consortium of Virgin Group and Stagecoach. Former Operator Virgin Cross Country operated 2+5 sets to match their Class 220 and 221 Voyager and Super Voyager sets for acceleration. In 1977 Hornby Railways launched its first version of the BR Class 43 (HST) in OO gauge. 43300 damaged after collision in Neville Hill depot in 2019. On 2 May 2016 an open day was held at Bristol St Philip's Marsh depot with a line up of Class 43s from each operator (except CrossCountry) to celebrate the HST's fortieth anniversary. After a stop at Darlington, the train accelerated quickly, however was checked to 80mph on a sharp curve about five miles south of Darlington. Financial limitations were tight, so mass electrification was not possible. Constructed [14][15][16] It returned to normal service with East Midlands Trains. Finances were tight at the time a mass electrification was not an immediate option. After the privatisation of British Rail the HST sets continued to be used. Train Heat: ETH Index 90 (450KW from auxiliary alternator) Industrial 415V Three Phase System. In 2009, Open Access Operator, Grand Central announced that it would be replacing the Paxman Valenta engines in its powercars with the MTU 4000 engine. During the prototypes time on the Eastern Region, it set the world speed record for diesel traction of 143.8mph between York and Darlington. This record was set in 1987 when an Eastern Region Intercity 125 set with powercar 43159 leading set the record of 148.5mph while working the, Up (southbound), Tees-Tyne Pullman between Darlington and York, arriving in to York to huge fanfare complete with brass band, before continuing on to London Kings Cross. This is the only operator without a train belonging to the Electrostar family (i.e. Along with 43159, 43102 (43302) holds the world record for the fastest diesel locomotive in the world. Their last HST service was the 19:35 London King's Cross to Leeds service on 15 December 2019. Once these locomotives left DVT duties, the remote equipment was removed. Abellio Scotrail operate 27 HST sets in 2+4, and 2+5 formations. Each set comprises four refurbished PRM TSI-compliant MkIII trailer vehicles marshalled between two diesel power cars. Therefore the trains were redesignated as locomotives, and hauled passenger stock. [60] Formerly named Craigentinny, nameplate sold in 2020.[52].

EMR currently uses just nine of it's own powercars, 6 of which are fitted with buffers from the DVT project in the 1980's, and 1990's. Coaches H, G and F uncoupled and derailed. Survivors reported using safety hammers to break the train windows after the collision to escape. As the LSL Fleet ever expands, and as various posts are spread across several different threads, I thought it's worth creating this thread to keep track of LSLs mainline diesel and electric fleet, stock movements and repaints etc. Harry Patch at Bristol Temple Meads Travel Coffee Mug. Later, Virgin Trains withdrew the HSTs when new Class 220 and 221 units were delivered, and nearly all of these power cars went into storage at Long Marston. There have been minor incidents involving Class 43s, among which have been: Power car 43160 had two minor incidents, which happened at the South West England region. Formerly named.

Number in service 43058, 43059, and the remaining four MK3's are currently used for driver training on the West Coast Mainline. 13 watching. After this record run it was noted by the driver that the train seemed to have plenty of power to spare and thought that, with enough track he could have attained 180mph. [91] However, it was announced in March 2015 that the HST would instead be replaced with the Class 802, a more powerful derivative of the bi-mode Class 800s. 43089 is currently at Eastleith Depot in Hampshire, and is expected to be refurbished, reliveried, and modified to become a spare powercar for the Midland Pullman. They were withdrawn from Grand Central service in 2017 after more Class 180s were acquired.[10]. Hornby Triang Lima featuring: Description to follow.You can contact Simon here. In 2003 infrastructure owner Network Rail bought powercars 43013, and 43014 for use of their track recording train called The New Measurement Train (NMT). BREL Crewe Four of, frame mounted.

Great Western Railway has fitted it's Mk3 Coaches with power doors, controlled emissions toilets, retention tanks, and disabled access toilets to meet TSI-PRM requirements. Four minutes at the maximum power of 3,500bhp and six minutes at idle. After years of storage, several of the power cars were bought by Midland Mainline to be part of Project Rio, special services running from London St Pancras to Manchester while major engineering works were undertaken on the West Coast Main Line. The production power cars featured a redesigned front end without conventional buffers, although a rigid drawbar can be used to connect an HST to an ordinary locomotive. However, the 12VP185L was introduced fleet-wide within the Australian XPT powercars. The train was fitted with ATP but this was switched off. An HST also holds the world speed record for a diesel train carrying passengers. Prototype HST powercar 41001 (later 43000) at the National Railway Museum in York. As of the 11th December 2020, all of the VP185 HSTs are now out of service. The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (formerly classes 253 and 254) power cars, built by British Rail Engineering Limited from 1975 to 1982. 5 October 1999 was a day of bright sunshine, at 8am with the sun's position low behind the Thames Turbo with the sunlight reflecting off SN109, believing Hodder had mistook the red signal for a yellow signal after fallen victim to a phenomena commonly known among train drivers as "Phantom Signalling" where a signal is mistaken for another. In 1987 British Rail experimentally fitted Western Region powercars 43167-43170 with Mirrlees and Blackstone MB-190 engine in the hope of solving some of the issues. [6], The design was successful and led to production orders being placed for similar trains for the Western, Eastern, Scottish and London Midland regions. All the units were repainted from their original InterCity colours to the Virgin red livery. Due to the differing maintenance requirements between powercars and coaches, it was soon found to be impractical to continue to view the Class 253, and 254 HST's as fixed formation trains. If the AWS equipment on the High Speed Train (HST) passenger train had been working, the chance of the accident occurring would have been highly unlikely, though not completely eliminated, since the AWS is only an advisory system. But, after a short period, the whole set including the MK3 passenger trailer were designated Class 252 and been classified as a diesel multiple unit (DMU). Failure to acknowledge the warning would have caused the train's brakes to be applied. 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge After several years of storage, several of these powercars were leased by Midland Main Line for their "Project Rio", special services from London St Pancras to Manchester Piccadilly, while major engineering works were undertaken on the West Coat Main Line. The Power car, its right side destroyed, came to rest upright next to the remaining wagons. Before cooler group upgrade the engines on the Western Region powercars were temporarily downrated to 2,000 bhp during the summer months. [97] It was joined by 43102 (43302)[62].
