Pack - Era 10
Product Code: R30096
Production Details:
Following the FirstGroup's decision
to buyout their partner's shares in Great Western
Holdings, a decision was made to rebrand the Great
Western Trains HST units to First Great Western (FGW).
Visually this change involved the fitting of a new vinyl
gold strip and colour fading as well as fitting new FGW
logos. Power car 43136 entered service at the end of
November 1979 and was overhauled and fitted with a new
MTU engine between February and April 2007. Power car
43189 entered service in May 1982 and received its Brush
overhaul between November 2007 and January 2008.
