In partnership with Romic Group, 125 Group are pleased to have taken delivery of power car 43190. This concludes a deal to swap some of our redundant MK3 coaches for a HST power car. 43190 will be used as a spares donor for our existing fleet.
We extend our thanks to the team at Romic who have been excellent and very supportive of preserved HST users in the UK, recognising the challenges we all face in accessing spares. 43190 will provide the missing pieces of our spares pool, enabling us to keep our fleet operational well into the future. These materials will also support improvements by providing float items which then allow components to go away for overhaul without causing extended downtime.
As always, members will find out our full plans in the next edition of our magazine; One Two Five. If you’d like to become a member, you can find details here.
