Hornby OO BR (SR) 1969 Brighton Belle Pullman Train Pack Blue & Grey DCC Onboard (R2988x)


1969 Brighton Belle train pack containing the two Pullman driving motor cars, one powered. Additonal Brighton Belle Pullman trailer cars are also available to recreate the full 5-car train.

This pack will contain unit number 3053, comprising car S292S and car S293S (powered) painted in the British Railways Pullman blue and grey livery.

The Brighton Belle was a named train which operated between London Victoria and Brighton and was the first electric all Pullman service in the World. The service commenced in June 1934 and continued until withdrawal in April 1972, however the service was suspended during the Second World War. There were three 5 car units designated 5BEL which were specially built for the service and were able to travel in 60 minutes the 51 miles between London and Brighton without stopping. Recently under the patronage of The Transport Trust a group was formed to restore a 5BEL unit into a fully working and operating train. Their goal is to have the train ready and in service by the London 2012 Olympics, a goal which is well within their grasp. The stunningly elegant Hornby model initially produced in two distinctive livery periods captures perfectly the opulence and style of the Brighton Belle Pullman. Each Car is lit and complete with detailed interior.

Photo of 1969 livery model will be added when this is available from Hornby.

The Brighton Belle Pullman car trains were formed of 5 cars.
