Hornby have announced new tooling for contemporary versions of Mark3 coaches with sliding doors with accompanying power-car sets for each of the three liveries. Numbering options give the potential to build up complete sets with individual numbering

Do i spy MK3a roof vents on a HST trailer ? (the 3D print)

i get good results with SE flushglaze the trick is to paint inside the window frame with black or dark greyP7040741.JPG

I did the very same with my Lima 33 027. very effective.

Good afternoon all,

I`ve quite a few Mk2 & Mk3 coaches that i want to flush glaze, If i buy kits from SE finecast or EE Lazerglaze it will get expensive in a hurry.

Does anyone have a any suggestions of alternative materials that i can have a bash myself ?

Thanks in advance,

John

Fantastic information Flood, I really appreciate the detailed info and my first ever sighting of a declassified mk2D in your pic

Hi john.welcome to the fourm  MK 2 coaching stock photos here is the link . https://ukrailwaypics.smugmug.com/Coaches/Mk2-Coaching-Stock

Thanks for the link, unfortunately no MK2D declassified, just MK2F in a Anglia livery.

John,

 

The 56xx series numbers was already allocated to MkIId TSOs so that bit isn't right ...

 

The Harris 'British Rail Mark 2 Coaches' book says that by 1989 the majority of the MkIId FOs (Diagram AD105) were surplus. An appendix shows several (not all) were converted to SOs in 1989 to the 62xx series (Diagram AC217) and fitted with 2+2 seating (although the Airfix windows are so dark that I don't think anyone will notice the 2+1 seating inside!).

 

Wikipedia says that in 1989, 36 Mk2d coaches were converted to Second Open 6200-6235 TSO. 

 

I 'think' they would still be in BR blue & grey at that time.

 

If you want to go 'mad', one of the AC217's was repainted into Stagecoach livery for the Aberdeen to London overnight service ...

 

Ian

Thank Ian,

It looks like Hornby used the wrong numbers for their 7 window SO ..... hardly surprising

I see the stagecoach one, 6202.., very Garish colours!!!

I`ll do some more research with the diagram numbers you supplied,

Cheers,

John

Hi all,

I have some surplus Airfix/GMR MK2D FO that i want to find a use for.

I intend to repaint one as a declassified TSO (56xx? i think).

Does anyone have any reference pictures that I can use as a guide? I have searched the interweb but can only find pictures of Hornby's effort (R4463B)

I'd like to see the real thing. Where they in Executive colour scheme or just the later 'INTERCITY' scheme ?

Thanks in advance!

John
