The reason given behind the moniker, ‘Nova’, was that it evoked the “positive changes and explosion of energy that will truly transform rail travel for customers and so, they are known as our Nova fleet.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eTPE ordered nineteen five car sets of the Class 802 bi-mode multiple units in March 2016, and they were procured through the leasing company Angel Trains. Hitachi’s plant in Japan started working on Nos. 802201 and 802202 in early 2018, with the first bodyshell arriving in the UK in June 2018. The rest of TPE’s fleet were built at Hitachi’s Newton Aycliffe factory in County Durham. Testing of the first unit, No. 802201, began in September 2018 with trial runs from Hitachi’s Doncaster Carr depot. More trial runs took place on the East Coast Main Line to Darlington and then south to London King’s Cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the units on test proving to be running fine, the first 'Nova 1' unit entered service in late 2019 with TPE operating the 802 on services between Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Scarborough, and Edinburgh. ‘Nova’ services on the West Coast Main Line started in December 2021, with four services operating per day between Manchester and Edinburgh (two in both directions).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese new ‘Nova’ units replaced a fleet of three car Siemens Class 185 DMUs and Class 350\/4 EMUs. Compared to the old fleet where the Class 185 units contained only 181 seats, the ‘Nova 1’ offers an upgrade to 342 seats with 318 as Standard Class and 24 seats as First Class. There are five toilets on board with one universal access toilet, storage for up to four bicycles, free Wi-Fi, and power sockets for every pair of seats. An electronic seat reservations system is in place with green meaning a seat is free, yellow is a seat that’s partially reserved and red is a seat that has been fully reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking inspiration from Japanese bullet train technology, the cab front features a sleek nose front to make the units light and aerodynamic. This aerodynamic shape enables the maximum speed to be up to 140mph in electric mode and 125mph in diesel mode. MTU engines were fitted to reduce harmful emissions to the environment. Trains can run in five or ten car formations for each service, and all are fitted with the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis train pack features intricate detailing on the units such as the TPE ‘Nova 1’ branding with dynamic lines and the sleek nose front of the cab replicating the Japanese bullet train technology for aerodynamics. The models are DCC ready and available with a 21-Pin connection to enable digital control. A powerful 5 pole skew wound motor allows for smoother running around points and for greater traction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5x Diesel-Electric Locomotive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e34\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e30\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e6\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Weight - Without Packaging\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1.6\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Scale\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eLicense\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFinish\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePainted\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eColour\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eGrey\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eGauge\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eOO\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDCC Status\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDCC Ready 21 pin socket\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOperator\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eTPE\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDesigner\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHitachi Rail\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eLivery\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eTPE Grey\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMinimum Curve (mm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eRadius 2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMotor\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e5 Pole Skew wound\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNumber of Parts\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eClass\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eClass 800 Hitachi\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50070907158813,"sku":"HOR R3908","price":1239.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/r3908_1.jpg?v=1769200538"},{"product_id":"hornby-r30376","title":"Hornby R30376 OO RailRoad: GWR - Class 1000 'County of Merioneth' - Train Pack","description":"\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GWR Class 1000, or County Class, was a collection of mixed-traffic 4-6-0 steam locomotives designed by the last Chief Mechanical Engineer of the GWR, Frederick William Hawksworth, in 1945.

An intended fleet of purely electric Class 801 ‘IETs’ were instead built to bi-mode specification in 2017\/8, due to delays in completing electrification work, and these were designated as Class 800\/3s.

These are mainly the names of well-known people from history, including famous sportsmen and women, politicians, decorated war veterans and members of the Royal Family, with the driving units each carrying a different name (some sets do have just one name). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInteresting exceptions include 800010 which has ‘Paddington Bear’ at one end and his creator ‘Michael Bond’ at the other, and 800316 which is named ‘Lionesses’, in honour of the England Ladies football team.
