Why this kit matters
The British Rail Class 423, better known as the 4-VEP (Vestibule Electro-Pneumatic), entered service in the 1960s and became a mainstay of commuter and regional services across Southern England. Designed for operation on the Southern Region's third-rail network, these units served for over 40 years before retirement.
Named unit 3417 Gordon Pettitt honours the respected British railway executive, making this train pack a distinctive addition to modern-era OO scale layouts.
