Hornby R3874 BR Class 370 Advanced Passenger Train Set 370 001 and 370 002 7 Car Pack - Era 7 OO Scale

Featuring an impressive set of passenger cars with two power cars marshalled at the outer ends of the set, the APT 7-car pack encapsulates the historical character of the Advanced Passenger Train in its many forms. With a number of failures and successes, the APT is a thought-provoking addition to any model railway layout.

At the beginning of 1982, the CM&EE considered that development problems with the ATP-P project would mean that the introduction of APT-S, scheduled for 1988, would not happen because APT-P still required at least six more years to achieve an acceptable degree of reliability. Given this situation, a meeting of the BRB Railway Executive Group on 23 June 1982 laid out four options for the commercial introduction of APT as part an overall InterCity traction strategy, with the quickest solution being the APT-U option.
