Manufacturer description

We are delighted to present the Branchline BR Mk2F Brake Second Open Coach in BR InterCity ‘Swallow’ livery for the first time which was unveiled in our Summer 2021 British Railway Announcements.

The state-of-the-art Branchline Mk2F is the perfect canvas for the popular InterCity ‘Swallow’ paint scheme and this new coach will create the perfect formation when coupled with our other Mk2Fs in matching ‘Swallow’ livery. Not only is this model highly detailed and beautifully decorated, but it also features DCC-controlled lighting with interior lights (including separate guard’s compartment lighting) plus door interlock lights and optional tail light which can be set to be constantly lit or flash for a fully immersive operating experience. Analogue users can also enjoy the interior and tail light features when power is applied.
