10-1298 - N Scale Eurostar New Livery Version – 4 car add on set - non powered - N Scale
Introduced after the opening of Channel tunnel in November of 1994, the Eurostar travels at 300 km/h, making a 3 hour trip between London and Paris and a 2 hour and 40 minute trip between London and Brussels. The Eurostar was developed through the co-operation of 3 countries - France, Belgium and the U.K. – using the French TGV as its conceptual baseline.
The Eurostar “three capital train”, which travels to and from London, Paris, and Brussels, consists of 20 cars including the 2 end cars.
This new release represents the Eurostar’s recently refurbished paint job – introduced in late 2015 along with a batch of new equipment. It replaces the previous mostly-white scheme with a bold silver, navy and yellow scheme. The full 20 Car consist can be assembled by combining the #10-1297 8-Car Base set and three (3) of the #10-1298 4-car add-on sets
