This is a classic commuter set for the Great Western, a UK line. This set features a very unique livery that incorporates two tone green and a light greenish gray. I believe four of these five cars were released as a set around 2000, the R2115. There is an add on car here, #42089 coach e, which is hard to find.
It is a Hornby 1:76 release in its OO line, but as you know, OO will run on HO track and runs on DC power.
This set is rarely offered for sale--there has not been one on eBay in over three years.
This lot consists of:
- 43002 Motorized end car with lights on nose
- 42081 Coach c "C3"
- 42082 Coach d "C3"

We have a couple of LIMA Merlin add on cars listed separately as the light gray area of these cars is WHITE on those other two other Great Western cars which are otherwise identical. Each is listed separately. These cars might make a nice add on to this set, even with the gray/white shade difference. It is up to you how close match they are...
We will have MANY more of these UK / Europe commuter sets coming in the following weeks from this tremendous collection...if there is one you are looking for, let us know, and we will list it for you as soon as we can!
CONDITION: C-6. Used, has been run. Tested and runs, but could use lubrication as it does squeak every now and then. End cars light up. Wheels could use a cleaning. Couplers and trucks are complete. Over all looks nice. Cars do have rubs, minor scratches, some window scuffs, pictured in the close ups. Pictures show it all--what you see is what is here. NO box.
