Using the revolutionary 3D laser scanning system, LIDAR, to accurately map the actual locomotive has allowed Hornby to recreate to a level of detail far more accurate than traditional mapping methods alone. Reference to historical photographs, plans and reference material ensures that any differences from the scanned engine, such as modifications, were taken into account to produce the final model design.

These trains were built in the late 1950s using the British Railways Mk.1 coach body design for express services over the steadily expanding network of electrified routes. Refurbished in the 1980s these trains ran until the early 2000s before finally being replaced by newer designs.
The Bachmann model features accurately reproduced bodyshells modelling the original configuration of the 4CEP trains with many finely reproduced and separately fitted detail parts. The train is driven by a heavy motor bogie concealled within one of the guards' van ends with through wiring to connect directionally controlled lighting circuits.

This model is finished in Britisn Rail corporate blue and grey livery, applied from the mid 1960s.

The motor luggage vans were created to provide luggage capacity for the newly electrified boat train services. Electrically compatible with the Southern regions' EMU trains the luggage vans had the added feature of battery power, allowing the van to move onto the non-electrified dockside sidings to transfer passenger luggage directly to the ship loading conveyors. When running on the 3rd rail these vans can also haul a trailing load, resulting in occasional use to power parcels trains and at least one railtour!

This model will be painted in the BR corporate blue and grey livery of the 1970s and 80s.
