In total, 197 production power cars were built by BREL at Crewe, along with almost 850 Mk3 coaches built in Derby, to form 7-9 coach trains between two power cars. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially used on the GWR, they were also used in large numbers on the Midland Mainline, Cross Country and ECML InterCity services operating at speeds of up to 125mph. Incredibly long-lived, they were eventually deemed too expensive and outdated to operate on the majority of British mainlines, finally being replaced by modern units like the Hitachi IEP units in the 2020s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last remaining operator of HSTs is ScotRail, where short-form sets have operated its Inter7City services across Scotland since 2018. Power car 43128 and 43135 operated with GWR before they were refurbished and moved to Scotland where they now wear the distinctive ‘Seven Cities of Scotland Skyline’ livery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42019388096547,"sku":"HORR30464TXS","price":699.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/hornby-oo-scale-scotrail-class-43-hst-bo-bo-train-pack-dcc-sound-fitted-r30464txs-1229371907.jpg?v=1774524988","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/hornby-oo-scale-scotrail-class-43-hst-bo-bo-train-pack-dcc-sound-fitted-r30464txs","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
