Anticipating the withdraw of HSTs in mid May by ‘East Midland Railway’, friend Peter Rose has been out and about again with his camera to see what he could find.
As usual with Peter’s work, the images are unedited by me and produced with his permission for which I thank him.

Originally numbered 43102, but later re-numbered to 43302.
This power car formed one part of the set which set set a new World speed record for Rail Diesel Traction in 1987.
The record being 148.5 mph.
The re-paint and re-numbering into the current livery was done to mark the anniversary of the event which took place between Northallerton and York on the East coast main line.
The other power car being No. 43159.
