Class 43 HST

The debate still rages over whether the HST should be regarded as a diesel multiple unit or locomotive hauled train but there is no doubt the sight and sound of a Class 43 power car on either end of a rake of 7 or 8 Mark III coaches is a powerful symbol of the British passenger railway over the last 20 years. - Vern Moorhouse

197 HST power cars were constructed at the Crewe locomotive works between 1975 and 1982. Displacing ageing locomotive hauled consists initially on the Paddington to Bristol and South Wales services, and later on the main line from Kings Cross to Leeds; the HST consists proved massively popular with passengers, greatly reducing trip times.

Class 43 Power Cars are of a Bo Bo wheel arrangement with a Paxman Valenta diesel engine delivering 2250 HP per unit. An HST set with it's push-pull formation has 4500 HP available for traction.

The Inter City 125 is the worlds fastest diesel train, having achieved a speed record of 148.5 mph during November 1987.
