Kato 10-1671 and Kato 10-1674 LNER  Class 800  AZUMA 5 Car Set.

 

The Class 800 is a type of bi-modal multiple unit used in the United Kingdom, based on the Hitachi A-train design. The first units entered service with GWR on the Great Western Main Line (GWML) in October 2017, and entered service with LNER on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) in May 2019. These trains were assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility, alongside the related Class 801 & 802 units, from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan. The Class 800 is part of the UK Government's "Intercity Express Programme" which intends to partially replace Intercity 125 and Intercity 225 train sets in mainline usage. The Class 800s, being bi-modal, have more operational flexibility as they are capable of working on lines that have not been electrified. 

 

This set is brand new and has never been run.  It is missing its original box, but all of the contents are present and the engine and coaches are in the foam insert.
