Why this kit matters
The Hitachi-built Class 800 Azuma entered service in 2019, replacing the iconic InterCity 125 on the East Coast Main Line. The name “Azuma,” meaning “East” in Japanese, reflects both the train’s route and its Japanese engineering heritage.
Unit 800201 was among the first sets delivered and represents the next generation of British high-speed rail travel, combining electric and diesel operation with improved efficiency and passenger comfort.
How to use it
Place the train on compatible OO gauge track and operate it using a standard analogue controller, or fit a suitable DCC decoder for digital control. Ideal for modern layouts featuring contemporary stations and infrastructure.
This is a detailed scale model intended for collectors and hobbyists. It is not a toy.
