The Mk3 coaches were introduced by British Rail in 1975, offering a new level of comfort to compete with airlines and private car travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"969\"\u003eBuilt by BREL, the Mk3 was originally designed for locomotive-hauled services, but the arrival of the High Speed Train (HST) saw these coaches adapted for operation at speeds up to 125mph (220 km\/h). The first Mk3 coaches were produced in 1972, with ten vehicles built for the prototype HST sets. Production continued until 1988, with multiple units based on the Mk3 shell built into the early 1990s. Measuring 75ft (23m), the Mk3 was ten feet longer than its predecessor, the Mk2, and featured monocoque construction with an all-welded mild steel stressed skin for improved strength and ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003eThis RailRoad model represents a Trailer Guard Standard coach, a key component of GWR HST sets, combining the functional role of a guard’s compartment with standard-class seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19q8fc3\" data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003eGauge: 00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lhu2j8\" data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003eLivery: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hnstkg\" data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003eOperator: GWR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1g8kijg\" data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003eWheel Configuration: Co-Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"shzpvc\" data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003eMinimum Curve (mm): Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lxax3z\" data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eCoupling Type: Wide Tension Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"x5qcrc\" data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eBuffer Type: No Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003eDimensions – Without Packaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1481\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1p517z6\" data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eLength (cm): 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"pr5tkb\" data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003eHeight (cm): 5.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"6mvw7n\" data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1456\"\u003eWidth (cm): 3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9899hs\" data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1481\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eScale: 1:76 (OO Gauge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882900971681,"sku":"HRB-R40554","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/9754\/files\/R40554.jpg?v=1775131298","url":"https:\/\/www.hearnshobbies.com\/products\/hornby-1-76-railroad-gwr-mk3-tgs-44086","provider":"Hearns Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
