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

As with all other Coaches, this MK2c certainly doesn't brake the bank.

Well worth the beer vouchers, so buy one and join the "Club"

As a proud Regional Railways Engineer for the period the company was allowed to exist this is a superb model of one of our vehicles. The really attractive livery is so well applied and basically the carriage pleases in all ways! Please, keep rolling out Regional Railways models!!!

Lovely coach

Good quality and excellent detail, the lights where flicker free even on some of my dirty track, the wand is helpful you just move it around the middle a bit and it turns the lights on and off, the detailing pack has plenty of options but fiddly with my eyesight I ended up just using the magnetic coupler nice coach

I am very pleased with this coach. Very detailed. Sad to say that you have to be very experienced and careful if you want to modify it. I purchased it as pick-up shoe carrier to make my Class 55 Deltic run on Märklin tracks. I also fiitted it with current feeding couplers. DDC Chip and speakers will arrive soon hopefully. I expect it will work as planned. Very good model. Nice gadget to start the interior light by magnet.
