With the introduction of the Class 800 sets the Class 43 has been relegated to regional services with Scotrail and GWR being the two largest operators of the Class in 2022. Due to the locomotives status as the fastest diesels in the world many examples have been preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item wysiwyg\"\u003e2 x Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby TT120","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58309090640253,"sku":"TT3021M","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/5696\/6563\/files\/HORNBYTT3021MHSTPACK1.jpg?v=1782125572","url":"https:\/\/www.chestermodelcentre.com\/products\/hornby-tt3021m-br-intercity-class-43-hst-twin-pack-era-7","provider":"Chester Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
