Production Details:
Hornby BR Class 423 - 4 VEP Train Pack. The 4-VEP
Electric Multiple Units were built for outer suburban services in South
London and on rural services in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. First
introduced in 1967, the units were mainly built by BR at York, although
some of the early vehicles were produced at BR’s Derby Works. Originally
numbered 7701-7894, 194 standard four-car sets entered service and were
subsequently renumbered into the 30XX and 31XX series in the 1980s to
make them TOPS-compliant. Fitted with manual ‘slam doors’ next to every
seating row, they were the last rolling stock built to this pattern for
BR, the last units being withdrawn in 2005 after a working life of 38
years.
