Both 43480 and 43484 are both part of Rail Adventure’s first dive onto British rails, with the company previously only being based out of Germany. Prior to their purchase, the units were owned and operated by Angel Trains and Great Central. Both 43480 and 43484 were outshopped from the painters in Rail Adventure grey on the 19th April 2021. Both units were both part of a British Rail Initiative, with both units being among a total of 14 to be fitted with buffers on the front, to act as a DVT unit for high speed services on the East Coast Mainline.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.

If you receive a model with a significant defect, we are happy to assist and will address the issue accordingly by offering a return or refund. However, please understand that minor imperfections do not qualify as faults but rather reflect the craftsmanship involved in creating these models. Thank you for your understanding and appreciation of these hand-built collectibles.
