The Hornby HO-OO Transport for Wales MK4 Standard End Carriage is a finely detailed 1:76 scale, 00 gauge model, representing the coaches built between 1989 and 1992 at Metro-Cammell's Washwood Heath factory. Designed for the newly electrified East Coast Main Line, the MK4 featured push-button-operated plug doors, fully sealed gangways, and a tilt-enabled design inspired by the Advanced Passenger Train.
Originally introduced by British Rail, the MK4 coaches changed operators multiple times, including GNER, National Express East Coast, Virgin Trains East Coast, and LNER. A major refurbishment under ‘Project Mallard' between 2003 and 2005 improved passenger experience with updated seating and the introduction of onboard Wi-Fi, a first for British rail services.
As newer train models replace them, many MK4 coaches are being reassigned to other routes, ensuring their continued service. This Hornby model captures the iconic design and history of the MK4, making it a must-have for collectors and railway enthusiasts.
