Hornby BR Mk2D Tourist Second Open, coach number E5714, is a 00 gauge model measuring 273 mm in length. The model is painted in the blue and grey Inter‑City livery and carries the British Railmarking for a Mark 2D TSO (Tourist Standard Open) coach. It is equipped with NEM couplings and a tension‑lock coupling system, and it can negotiate a minimum curve radius of 2 units.

The coach is supplied in a blue colour scheme with the appropriate British Rail crest and running number. It is fitted with NEM couplings throughout and is designed for use on standard OO gauge layouts. The model reflects the British Rail Blue TOPS period.

The original coaches were built by British Rail Engineering Limited between 1963 and 1975. This era saw the railway network adapting to reduced passenger numbers and limited investment, with the blue livery representing the early TOPS (Total Operations Processing System) branding. The Hornby model is intended to represent that historical period accurately.
