Expand your classic British railway collection with this detailed BR InterCity Mk3 First Open (FO) Coach in 1:76 scale OO Gauge. Designed as the perfect addition to a BR High-Speed Train (HST) set, this coach increases the rake between the iconic Class 43 diesel power cars, recreating the famous InterCity 125 formations that transformed UK rail travel.

Originally introduced in 1975 alongside the Class 43 HST units, the Mk3 coaches became legendary for their speed, comfort, and reliability. Their sleek aerodynamic design and smooth ride quality helped establish the InterCity 125 as one of Britain’s most recognisable trains. The Mk3 coach design later evolved into locomotive-hauled Mk3a and Mk3b variants for use across the wider British rail network.

This highly detailed OO Gauge model features authentic BR InterCity styling, realistic coach detailing, moulded plastic buffers, and quality construction, making it ideal for railway enthusiasts, collectors, and layout builders.

Suitable for ages 14 and up.
