  British Rail Mark 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Rail's third design of carriage was designated Mark 3, and was introduced in 1976 primarily for use on the High Speed Train (HST).
The Mark 3 design proved to be highly adaptable for use in BR's multiple unit stock of the 1980s - AC EMU Classes Class 317 - 322, the DC Class 455 and DMU Classes 150 and 156 all use a Mark 3 derived bodyshell.
The Mark 3 coaches to be used are of the loco-hauled type, and so are undergoing modifications to their couplers and electrical systems to make them compatible with Class 43 power cars.

Mark 3 refers solely to carriages used as part of High Speed Train sets, while Mark 3A and 3B carriages are both locomotive-hauled, originally used on the West Coast Main Line route from London Euston.
The Mark 3 looks very similar to the later versions (2D/2E/2F) of the Mark 2 design, but was developed separately - specifically for use with the High Speed Train, and the WCML electrification.

 British 3"/70 (7.62 cm) Mark 6
It had been intended to arm British frigates of the 1950s with this weapon, but it was not ready in time and the 4.5" (11.4 cm) Mark 6 was used in its place.
The British mounting was less ambitious in concept and slightly more successful in practice than its American counterpart, the 3"/70 (7.62 cm) Mark 37 mounting.
The British mounting was prone to ammunition feed breakdowns and required much maintenance to keep in service.

 British Antimateriel Rifles
The British are known to be users of the AW-50 and AW-50F, while the Australians have recently chosen the AW-50F for use as one of their antimateriel rifles.
In 1942, the Mark 2 was designed; it was a short-barreled model of the Boys for use by paratroopers, but was even more useless against the armor the Germans were fielding at the time.
The Mark 2 had a short period of popularity as a heavy sniping rifle, but as it was very unpleasant to fire, it was withdrawn after less than a year.

The decision to purchase a new fleet of modern Intercity coaches based on the British Rail Mark 3 design was quickly made as a result of several accidents involving the older style coaches.
The Mark 3 fleet, as it stands in 2005, comprises 123 standard coaches built in 1980 and 1989 and 9 Mark 3A coaches built in 1986.

 Worldandnation: Revived rail to speed aid into southern Iraq
UMM QASR, Iraq -- With a creaky groan, a locomotive roared to life Saturday as British and Iraqi officials formally re-opened the rail line between Umm Qasr and Basra -- the expected route for aid into the rest of southern Iraq.
As a British military band played "When the Saints Come Marching In," the newly minted Umm Qasr town council cut a white ribbon and the Chinese-made engine pulled out of the port station with four passenger cars on a test run.
For Umm Qasr's residents, the revived rail line was also the latest signal of a return to self-sufficiency.

The Mark 4, like the Mark 3 before it, has gained widepread praise in the railway industry for its exceptional crashworthiness, something that was proven in the Hatfield and Great Heck crashes, where experts identify the integral construction of the vehicles as a key factor in the size of the death toll.
