#10 Mk2D BFK Conversion
The latest installment to the Corridor Brake First (BFK) upgrade family is 17144 in InterCity Executive livery. This one is based on the Farish Mk2F BSO model (374-692). Railtec transfers were used for the First class stripe, First Class door numbers, First Class / No Smoking Logos and bespoke coach numbers. Interior seats have been cut out and a corridor insert added, with an interior rail on the corridor side and curtains added in the compartments from tissue paper. Purists will note that the compartment spacing is not quite wide enough for this variety of Mk2, but given the alternative was a series of cut-and-shuts of the one-piece coach bodyshell, it's something I can live with! 2mmFS wheels to be added following my next order from the 2mm Shop. This model will grace a Paddington-Penzance loco-hauled rake with the previously converted Mk2C BFK getting use on Newquay/Penzance-bound Cross-Country services.
