Prototype information

Accurascale has released a new 57' Non-Gangway Coach from the BR Mk1 series in BR Carmine Red livery, modelled after one of the TO number series, M48036. This OO gauge model is part of the 'Transporting Britain' range and is built to scale, with a die-cast metal chassis and plastic body for a realistic running weight.

The model features accurate BREL BR1 bogies with separate detailing, including brake blocks aligned with the wheels. The wheels are blackened RP25-110 Profile Wheels set in blackened Brass Bearings, ensuring smooth running on 26mm axles. The model also features NEM Standard coupling sockets with a kinematic close coupling system, as well as scale width wire handrails, water pipes, and passenger communication gear.

The coach's exterior is highly detailed, with separately fitted door handles and lamp brackets, headstock pipes and cabling, and a fully detailed, die-cast under-frame featuring vacuum cylinders, battery boxes, dynamo, and piping. The roof is easily removable, allowing for easy access to the interior for detailing and passenger fitting.

The interior is fully accurate, with replica interior layouts, complete with highly detailed seating, luggage racks, and framed artworks on the interior bulkheads. The model also features prism-free flush glazing and separately fitted roof vents in correct locations. The lighting package includes 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 high standard, with a minimum radius curve of Radius 2 and a gauge of OO. It is compatible with 16.5mm track and features a working interior lighting system. The model is built by Accurascale and is based on a real coach built between 1954 and 1956 for British Railways.
