Relive those classic commuter journeys with our BR Class 423 7712 '4 VEP' Train Pack, complete with iconic (but non-functional) slam doors. Ideal for model railway layouts replicating the south coast or London suburbs, this train pack features one motorised power car, one dummy car and two coaches in a stylish BR blue livery. There’s also an accessories bag with etched name plates, a speaker bar and coupling bars. History The 4-VEP Electric Multiple Units were built for outer suburban services in South London and on rural services in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. First introduced in 1967, the units were mainly built by BR at York, although some of the early vehicles were produced at BR’s Derby Works. Originally numbered 7701-7894, 194 standard four-car sets entered service and were subsequently renumbered into the 30XX and 31XX series in the 1980s to make them TOPS-compliant. Fitted with manual ‘slam doors’ next to every seating row, they were the last rolling stock built to this pattern for BR, the last units being withdrawn in 2005 after a working life of 38 years.
