So might get the Michael Harris book out or see if tooling for C's is in the pipeline. This is great news but will be interested in a MK2c coaches, especially a CK and TSOT for use in Scotland. Out of interest found a 1985 photo of 47461 at Inverness, behind is what looks like a MK2b TSOT, could be wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later MK2c TSOTs had a single pane toilet window more akin to a Mk2d, but not all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the red stripe on CRM started to show through beneath the blue when it became very weather worn. I to have never seen CRM in its red stripe. Interesting pic! Brian.

Mophead45143 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Apologies for my ignorance, and if the answer is already lying here in the thread.... Am I right in thinking that the main feature of the Mk2 'c' that made it discernable from a Mk2 'b' (from a distance) is the later style of roof vents? And that some, but not all, also had the later Mk2 air con ( d / e / f ) style toilet windows? As such, can anyone please confirm that the lead vehicles in the below photographs are all Mk2 'c' ? I think I read somewhere that the midland mainline had a small smattering of MK2 'c' first class stock among their predominately MK2 'e' air con fleet during the late 1970's.

InterCitySpud Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Only just found out about this and all I can say is a massive thanks to all at Accurascale. As an average modeller I'm not too fixated over B/C just that we finally have a superb representation of a hugely missed coach for BR Blue formations, I'll even have fun adapting my own TSOT, the roof differences wont matter to me. Ouch! Thank you especially for the couplings, far too long now detailed rakes of coaches ruined by unrealistic gaps. This will also help aesthetically running over pointwork. Huge thanks also for the interior detail and the lighting. Worth every penny. Just out of curiosity can anyone identify this? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 @Accurascale Fran Can I clarify something, is there actually a proposal for a Mk2c or has most of the past 13 pages been people wanting/expecting Mk2c coaches as part of the announcement. I am very confused, there was an announcement about Mk2bs and then since then all I keep seeing are mentions of Mk2c coaches. Sort of one of those "great a new announcement! Now how about this?" type of things, wanting more more more. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you look to Northern Ireland, you may see something more that may appear in the future.... Cheers! Fran 7 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha yes, sorry very slow shutter speed. A few internal images from a FK for any one interested in getting the perfect shade of orange.. https://citytransport.info/Compartment.htm The interiors appear to have been superbly detailed, the wing back chairs are perect so it will be interesting to see how they are finished. The lighting looks to be excellent too so the right colours inside and with a few punters added they will look amazing.

I might be wrong but that isnt a BSK unless it is one of the handful of declassfied ex NSE BFKs, which i dont thibk were branded Trans Pennine. Your piccie looks like either a BFK or a BSO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) From early 1983 there were only two remaining Mk2B BFKs, 14107 and 14109 which were used on Wat - Exe. They had become Royal Train vehicles by 1990 and they never carried Trans Pennine livery. That coach would be either a Mk2a or Mk2c.
