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.

Common Features:
  • Highly-detailed OO Gauge / 1:76.2 Scale Models on 16.5mm track
  • Extremely fine exterior rivet detail on roof and coach ends
  • Separately-applied etched metal and high-fidelity plastic parts, including handrails, brake/steam heat pipes, ETH cabling and sockets, footsteps, dummy drophead knuckle coupler, and roof vents
  • Prism Free Glazing
  • Pre-painted etched metal water filler covers provided for customer to install
  • Fully-detailed underframe with numerous separate parts, pipe runs and accurate differences between versions
  • The most accurate B4 bogies ever produced, with provision for re-gauging to EM or P4 (18.83mm) gauges
  • Blackened RP25.110 profile wheel-sets with 14.4mm back-to-back measurements, and 26mm over pinpoints
  • Different buffers for retracted and non-retracted positions
  • Accurate interiors with characteristic 'winged' headrests, separate metal interior handrails on the brake and corridor vehicles and fully-detailed guard's compartment
  • Correct height NEM standard coupling sockets with mini tension lock couplers and kinematic close-coupling
  • Easy conversion to Kadee-compatiable knuckle couplers
  • Full lighting package, including
  • magnet 'wand' controlled interior lighting
  • 'Stay-Alive' capacitor in all coaches
  • directional lighting with DC or DCC control (Driving Trailer only)
  • Minimum Radius 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track)
  • Coach Length: 269mm

Excellent

A really stunning model and rare livery on one of these carriages. It will sit well alongside the Accurascale Class 50s and the Mk1 Rail Charter set

Exceptional

Yet another stunning coach from Accurascale! Flawless livery application, all the detail you could want, inside and out. Featuring an interior light package with stayalive, this coach blows every other RTR Mk2 out of the water in terms of value and quality. Thank you Accurascale, companies like you truly are saving the hobby!

Another great coach

Already have a number of the 2b coaches, and these are the perfect accompaniment to start building nice long rakes. Really hoping they don’t do another run soon, I don’t want to have to sell any more organs……

Wonderful!

Another brilliant coach from Accurascale!

I'm very happy with the interior lighting, especially since it doesn't need any DCC decoder to work. It's fully compatible with both DC and DCC from the box, and that's a really good thing. Looking forward to eventually getting it populated with passengers and detailing that Buffet counter! All they need to do now is release some of the other Mk 2 variations, especially since they are mostly out of stock from others and go for high second-hand prices. :D

Another little beauty from Accurascale

This coach looks amazing with exquisite detail inside. I really like having the option to add curtains to the compartments and love the detailing as well within each compartment. It runs beautifully and looks the part when added to coaching rakes of the period. Perfection indeed! A++

Perfect for our model of Reading

Another superb model to add to my stock of Mk 2bs. This coach is perfect for a cross country set for our Club model of Reading.
