British Rail Class 43 - HST - InterCity 125

Description
Im Back.

This is The Class 43, also known as the HST, short for High Speed Train.

The HST or InterCity 125 Is a Train built by British Rail Engineering Limited between 1975 and 1982. Each set consists of 2 Class 43 Power Cars, One at each end, and a rake of MK3 Coaches.

The HST was introduced into service under the name InterCity 125 between 1976 and 1982 resulting in significantly reduced journey times and proved to be a massive success.

This type of train also holds the official world record for the fastest Diesel-powered Train at 238 KMH. This set apropriately goes 238 KMH max

The name "InterCity 125 derives from its Operational speed of 125 Miles Per Hour (201 KMH), Initially, the sets were classified as Class 253 and Class 254. They were later classified as class 43.

The trains have proven to be Very reliable workhorses and still remain in service as of 2023. They currently operate for 4 different companies around Great Britain: ScotRail, CrossCountry, Great Western Railway And Network Rail.

This set consists of a Power car at each end, and 7 coaches: 2 MK3 1st Class coaches, 1 MK3 Restaurant Coach and 4 MK3 2nd Class Coaches.

The train Controls are as such:
L - Headlights
B - Reverse Lights
Action 1 - High Horn
H - Low Horn

The train is Highly Detailed with features such as coach numbers and the infamous "Double Arrow" on the powercars.

NOTES:
The rear powercar may or may not spawn inside of the editor, this is a Brick Rigs error and cannot be fixed by me.

MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNSTABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS IS DETERMINED BY YOUR FPS AND SERVER LAG, I DO ALTHOUGH NOT RECCOMEND THAT YOU SPAWN THIS TRAIN IN A SERVER DUE TO THE HIGH BRICK COUNT.

@rex, after very extensive testing i can confirm that the standard wheels cannot operate without derailing at speeds in exess of 160 km/h.
This makes the Intercity 125 unable to live up to its name and i will therefore also NOT make a standard wheeled version.
Thanks for your suggestion tho

Cool but the only problem is is that this was released when normal train wheels were already stable enough and these types of train with support wheels cant go across crossings anymore.

Not bad, not bad. I would personally make the angled sections scalables though.
