Manufacturer description

Never before produced in ready-to-run form in any scale, accurascale is excited to reveal the latest addition to its eagerly-anticipated range of 4mm/OO gauge Mk.2 coaching stock, the late-style Mk.2c variant with their characteristic small 'air con'-style toilet windows. Famously designed to be retrofitted with air-conditioning equipment, a modification that never took place, 150 vehicles were built at Litchurch Lane, Derby, in 1969-70 to five designs (out of 250 Mk.2c in total), primarily for the London Midland Region: Tourist Second Open (TSO), Corridor First (FK), Open First (FO), Brake Corridor First (BFK) and Brake Open Second (BSO). In the 1980s four further types were introduced, SK and SO (declassified from first class), Corridor Composite (converted from FK for Scottish Region services) and a mini buffet with trolley space, known as TSO(T). All nine of these versions will feature in our production.

Accurascale has announced a new addition to their 4mm/00 gauge Mk.2 coaching stock range, the Mk.2c variant with small 'air con'-style toilet windows. This coach type was built between 1969 and 1970 at BREL's Litchurch Lane Works in Derby, with 150 vehicles produced for the London Midland Region.

This model is the first time this coach type has been produced in ready-to-run form in any scale. The Mk.2c variant was designed to be retrofitted with air-conditioning equipment, although this was never implemented.

The model features highly-detailed OO gauge/1:76.2 scale construction, with extremely fine exterior rivet detail on the roof and coach ends. Separately-applied etched metal and high-fidelity plastic parts include handrails, brake/steam heat pipes, ETH cabling and sockets, footsteps, and roof vents.

Key features of the model include prism free glazing, pre-painted etched metal water filler covers, and a fully-detailed underframe with numerous separate parts and accurate differences between versions. The model also features the most accurate B4 bogies ever produced, with provision for re-gauging to EM or P4 gauges.

Other features of the model include blackened RP25.110 profile wheel-sets, different buffers for retracted and non-retracted positions, accurate interiors with characteristic 'winged' headrests, and a correct height NEM standard coupling socket.

The model also includes a full lighting package, including magnet 'wand' controlled interior lighting, a 'stay-alive' capacitor in all coaches, and directional lighting with DC or DCC control. The minimum radius for this model is 438mm, and the coach length is 269mm.
