Way back in 2008 I purchased two pairs of Hornby HST powercars, at the time I converted the intercity pair to P4 and fitted buckeye couplings. While the Intercity pair (for Great Western Trains) were not renumbered, the Virgin Cross Country pair were given new identities.

While in 1998/1999 Great Western still had a lot of powercars in Intercity livery, finding suitable examples is more difficult given one has a guards window, and the two have different roof grills.

There were only two GWT intercity powercars left by this point, 43006 and 43007. Of which fortunately 007 has the raised slatted roof grill that matches the model.

There were lots of non guards window powercars still in intercity, however the fast majority had the slatted grill rather than the square grill with fan on the model. After searching through a lot of photos 43151 appears to be a good match

Along with this I have a full set of mk3 (all bar the TGS in Merlin livery). Eventually I have a FGW TGS to Part respray back to Merlin and a pair of old Lima powercars in Merlin. Eventually the plan is to have a full rake in Merlin and a mixed Merlin Intercity.

I also have a pair of converted Mk1 barrier coaches and have a number of old powercars to run with them
