APT

Record Producer Pete Waterman has been commissioned by Chester Cathedral to construct a monster layout in tribute to the unsung 19th century Railway builder Thomas Brassey.The team at Hornby are creating a replica of the West Coast Mainline train the APT to top speed. The 155 mph tilting train was scrapped after only a few years of service, but Hornby hope the 80's icon, a forerunner of today's Pendolino, will prove popular.
