Description The final set for the Class 414s, but not the last EMU, far from it, I still have to post the 415/416 EPBs used on the eastern and central sections for commuter services and eventually some expresses. Not to mention the lovely Motor Luggage Vans.

The name HAP followed on from the 2 HAL Half-A-Lavatory units:
HAP denoting Half-A-(lavatory) (electro) Pneumatic.

Latterly the first-class accommodation in the 2 HAP units was downgraded to second-class to form the 2 SAP (TOPS 418) units:
SAP denoting Second class (half)-A-(lavatory) (electro) Pneumatic.

From April /May 1982 pairs of 2 HAP units were permanently coupled together for use on the Coastway Services out of Brighton. These became 4 CAP (TOPS 413) units:
CAP denoting Coastway (half)-A-(lavatory) (electro) Pneumatic.
They were normally coupled DMBSO to DMBSO.

The first phase and it's two batches were built atop of frames donated from Southern 2-NOLs, however, I have only modeled here, the second phase batches built atop frames identical to the Mk1s. As these were designed for express services, they were built with with a DMBSO/DMTC configuration.

Included are:
DMBSO
DMTC
Yellow Ends to slap a face on and with matching pipework.
