Exquisite rolling stock for your Hornby locomotives Enter the fascinating world of Hornby wagons and coaches. Full size locomotives were developed to haul freight and passengers; our on-line model train shop is full of wonderfully detailed rolling stock for your OO scale engines to pull, too. Our passenger coaches - available singly or in packs - complement any elegant locomotive and the sheer variety of freight with authentic logos and branding means wherever your model is set and whatever loads you wish to move, there will be suitable models for your layout. Whether you are looking for the elegance of Pullman coaches or workaday brake vans, container wagons and hopper wagons with detailed company logos, you will find all the Hornby rolling stock you need for your trains. In mid-1984, TS Sc48204 was withdrawn from Set 370 004 and was sent to the Engineering Development Unit (EDU) at Derby RTC for conversion to an APT-U test vehicle, with extensive rebuilding of the underframe being undertaken in order to incorporate tilting double bogies based on the BT12 units. Following the completion of the vehicle some static testing was undertaken at Derby, as well as dynamic testing on the West Coast Mainline in an APT formation, where the coach was inserted between the TBF and NDM vehicles. The APT-U project evolved into the IC140 project which, once tilt was dropped from the specifications, became the IC225 Class 91/Mk IV rollout on the East Coast Mainline. Renumbered as 977527 in Departmental use, the coach seems to have retained 48204 while testing, the number being painted out once it had been withdrawn from the APT dynamic testing some time during mid-1989. Stored at the RTC yard in Derby, the vehicle was finally scrapped in October 1989. Please note, box and model dimensions are shown as identical however only represent the box/package size.
