Hornby R8120 THST Class 43 MTU Engines TS DCC Sound Decoder

Twin pack of decoders for HET class 43 locomotives / power cars with sounds for the MTU engines fitted to refurbished locomotives / power cars.
A life extension and refurbishment programme was commenced by Great Western in 2005, the power cars were sent to Brush for refurbishment and fitting with new MTU engines. Benefiting from 30 years of diesel engine development the MTU power units are quieter and emit less smoke than the Paxman engines, while also offering improvements in fuel economy. Since 2010 all HST power cars have been fitted with the MTU engines except the East Midlands fleet which have Paxman VP185 engines.
