The Brake Force Runner has always been one of the more interesting coaches I've seen - a completely smooth Network Rail MK2 so naturally I thought "I want one for my layout".

So getting into this, I bought four coaches from an eBay seller which were R4992, R4995, R4946 and DC 460000 ((I believe originally from class_66_driver) That's a surprise tool that will help us later) given that R4946 is a plain Mk2 I thought it would be perfect to convert so I also bought a stick on sheet of the sides of the runner off a separate seller.

I removed the underbody from the rest of the Mk2, cut out the sticker, aligned it, stuck it down, and then reassembled the coach. Now, I don't know why I even thought this would be a good idea, as all the contours around the windows and the handles prevented it from sticking flush to everything. I guess you get the quality you pay for.

Needless to say, I hated how it looked and decided to remove it and actually put the effort into making my own instead of cutting a million corners.
