Why this model matters

The Class 802/3 units form part of Hull Trains’ modern fleet operating intercity services between Hull and London. These bi-mode trains were introduced to improve journey times and flexibility on partially electrified routes.

The “Amy Johnson” unit, 802301, pays tribute to Hull-born aviator Amy Johnson, one of the first women to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. Her achievement marked a major moment in aviation history and remains closely linked to the city of Hull.

This train reflects the shift in UK rail travel towards high-speed, fuel-flexible multiple units designed for mixed infrastructure networks. It represents modern British rail identity while connecting to early aviation heritage.

How to use it

Place the full 5-car set on OO gauge track for realistic intercity operation or static display. You can stage it at a modern platform scene or run it on continuous mainline layouts for high-speed passenger services. No assembly, paint, or glue is required.

This is a plastic model set. Assembly, paint, and glue are not required. It is not a toy.
