This highly collectible keepsake honours the legendary Inter-City 125 High Speed Train, a model that transformed British rail travel and became one of Hornby’s most iconic releases. 

A silver-plated medal struck exclusively for this issue features a colourised image of the train that remains a symbol of speed and engineering excellence. 

The medal is mounted on an illustrated card celebrating the Inter-City 125’s history and Hornby’s craftsmanship. 

The Inter-City 125 First Class stamp from the main set is cancelled with a special-edition handstamp including the postmark location Margate – home of Hornby’s headquarters – and the phrase “THE WORLD’S FASTEST DIESEL TRAIN”. 

The cover includes a striking illustration of a railway icon that redefined modern passenger transport and is still in production today. 

A limited edition of just 5,000 numbered editions celebrating the heritage and innovation behind a powerhouse locomotive and one of Hornby’s most popular models.
