The Accurascale BR Mk1 57' Non-Gangway Coach - BS - BR Rail Blue E43138 is an OO gauge model of a British Railways Mark 1 coach. The model is part of the 'Transporting Britain' range and represents a coach used in the British Rail Blue era, prior to the introduction of the TOPS system.

The model features a die-cast metal chassis with a plastic body for a realistic weight, and is designed to run on 16.5mm track. It has accurate replica BREL BR1 bogies, with detailed brake blocks and blackened wheels and bearings for smooth running. The model also features NEM standard coupling sockets, scale width wire handrails, and separately fitted door handles and lamp brackets.

The model's interior is fully detailed, with die-cast underframe components, vacuum cylinders, battery boxes, dynamo, and piping, all separately applied. The roof is easily removable for access to the interior for detailing and passenger fitting. The interior layout is accurate, with highly detailed seating, luggage racks, and framed artworks on the interior bulkheads.

The model features a full lighting package, including magnet 'wand' controlled interior lighting, all bogie pick-ups, and a 'stay-alive' super-capacitor bank for flicker-free lighting. The model is built to a scale of 1:76.2 and has a minimum radius curve of 2.
