Class 41 HST-P

The British Rail Class 41 was the original classification for the power cars of the prototype High Speed Train (HST) of 1972. The HST was later re-classified as a diesel-electric multiple unit, and the whole set became Class 252. They were of Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. Two power cars were built, 41001 and 41002. After the Class 252 re-classification these were renumbered into the carriage numbering range as 43000 and 43001. As of 2015 41001 is operational and based at Ruddington Park MPD, on the Great Central Railway (Nottingham) as part of the National Collection owned by the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York. It is registered as 43000 to allow for positioning moves via the Network Rail network. In December 1990, the second power car 41002 was scrapped at C F Booth, Rotherham. Both were allocated to Headquarte

Dapol are producing an N Gauge version of the HST-P, a donation will be made to Project Miller upon the successful completion of the project.
