Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale has released a new OO gauge model of a British Rail Mk.2c (large toilet window) TSO coach in Blue/Grey livery with InterCity branding. The model features a highly detailed exterior with fine rivet detail on the roof and coach ends, as well as separately-applied etched metal and high-fidelity plastic parts.

The coach has a fully-detailed underframe with numerous separate parts, pipe runs, and accurate differences between versions. The bogies are the most accurate B4 type ever produced, and can be re-gauged to EM or P4 gauges. The model also features blackened RP25.110 profile wheel-sets and different buffers for retracted and non-retracted positions.

The interior of the coach is accurately detailed, with characteristic 'winged' headrests, separate metal interior handrails, and a fully-detailed guard's compartment. The model also features a full lighting package, including magnet 'wand' controlled interior lighting, 'stay-alive' capacitors, and directional lighting with DC or DCC control.

The model is designed for use on 16.5mm track and has a minimum radius of 438mm. It measures 269mm in length and has a prism free glazing system. The model is available in a range of liveries, including BR Blue/Grey, Network SouthEast, InterCity, and TransPennine.

Accurascale has also released a model of the South Wales & West Mk.2b/c coaches, which were operated by the South Wales & West franchise from 1996 to 1999. These coaches were leased from Carnforth Railway Restoration Services and ran services in the West Country and Wales.

The model is a significant addition to the BR coaching fleet, with over 20 coaches available across a range of formats, liveries, and eras. It is designed to be compatible with popular Accurascale locomotives such as the Class 50, 31, and 37.
