Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale's OO gauge Mark 2C MK2C BFK Blue/Grey Intercity Livery coach is a highly detailed model of a British Railways coach from the 1960s. The model is based on the BR Mark 2A-C coach type and features a B4 or B5 bogie arrangement.

The model represents a Brake First (BFK) coach in the iconic BR Blue/Grey livery, and is one of ten differently numbered coaches in the range. The coach was built at BREL's Derby Litchurch Lane Works between 1963 and 1975.

The model features a number of accurate details, including highly-detailed exterior rivet work, separately-applied etched metal and high-fidelity plastic parts, and a fully-detailed underframe. The interior is also accurately represented, with characteristic 'winged' headrests and separate metal interior handrails.

The model is designed to be highly flexible, with a minimum radius curve of 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track) and the ability to be re-gauged to EM or P4 gauges. The model also features a full lighting package, including magnet 'wand' controlled interior lighting and a 'Stay-Alive' capacitor in all coaches.

The Mark 2C range is a continuation of Accurascale's research into the Mark 2 coach family, which began with their Mark 2B coaches. The range includes a number of different variants, including Tourist Second Open, Corridor First, Open First, Brake Corridor First, and Brake Open Second, and is designed to be a complement to their existing Mark 2B range.
