If the sound of slam doors takes you back to day trips on the South East coast, then this train pack is for you. Perfectly replicating the 4 VEP trains of the 80s and 90s, these highly detailed models are DCC-ready for HM7000 upgrade.
History
Network SouthEast was created in 1982 as one of three British Rail passenger sectors. Prior to 1986 it was known as London & South Eastern.
Despite its title, its territory stretched as far as Exeter in the west and to parts of East Anglia. However, the Class 423 4-VEPs it inherited were restricted to South London and urban services in the densely populated south-east as they operated on the 750v DC third-rail network.
Many of these units were cascaded to the three privatised southern train operators and were among the last slam-door stock in operation on Britain’s railways.
