The Great British High Speed Train (HST)
Welcome
Hello and welcome to my gallery dedicated to the Inter City 125, surely the most succesful train this country has ever known. Whilst the HST will be with us for a few years yet, the fantastic sound of the Paxman Valenta 12RP200L is likely to disappear all too soon, to be replaced by the eco-friendly MTU.
My aim is to include at least one photo of each of the power cars, building up into a comprehensive on-line photo album.
This then is my tribute to the Class 43, as BR finally called them. I hope you enjoy the pics.
