Introduced in 1975, the Mk3 coach offered a new standard of passenger comfort in response to growing competition from airlines and private cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"990\"\u003eBuilt by BREL, the Mk3 was originally intended as locomotive-hauled stock, but with the development of the High Speed Train (HST), it was quickly adapted for speeds of up to 125mph (220 km\/h). The first prototype Mk3 coaches appeared in 1972, with ten vehicles built for the early HST sets. Mk3 coaches continued to be produced until 1988, while multiple units based on the Mk3 shell remained in production into the early 1990s. At 75ft (23m) long, the Mk3 was ten feet longer than its predecessor, the Mk2, and featured monocoque construction with an all-welded mild steel stressed skin for superior strength and ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eThis RailRoad model represents a Buffet Car from a GWR HST set, capturing the elegance and functionality of the onboard catering facilities that helped make the Mk3 legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19q8fc3\" data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1207\"\u003eGauge: 00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1en9wxy\" data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eLicense: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hnstkg\" data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eOperator: GWR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lhu2j8\" data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003eLivery: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1g8kijg\" data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1291\"\u003eWheel Configuration: Co-Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"shzpvc\" data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eMinimum Curve (mm): Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lxax3z\" data-start=\"1325\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eCoupling Type: Wide Tension Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"x5qcrc\" data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003eBuffer Type: No Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eDimensions – Without Packaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1515\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1p517z6\" data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003eLength (cm): 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"pr5tkb\" data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1470\"\u003eHeight (cm): 5.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"6mvw7n\" data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003eWidth (cm): 3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9899hs\" data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1515\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eScale: 1:76 (OO Gauge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882900938913,"sku":"HRB-R40553","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/9754\/files\/R40553.jpg?v=1775131293","url":"https:\/\/www.hearnshobbies.com\/products\/hornby-1-76-railroad-gwr-mk3-buffet-car-40734","provider":"Hearns Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
