Design and construction followed on from the universal and ubiquitous Mk1 family of coaching stock, with the prototype example built in 1963. Series production continued until 1975 at Derby Carriage Works. They were of steel construction, and of a more monocoque design than the Mk1, which added to their safety and integrity in event of collision or mishap. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger expectations and railway operations had moved on since the vast Mk1 range was conceived, and because there was still much life left in the Mk1s by the mid-sixties, a much reduced number of vehicle types were built.  The basic Mk2 types included First and Second class accommodation, with corridors and compartments only available to First Class passengers, all Second Class coaches were conceived as open saloons.  First and Second class Brake coaches were built, but no full brakes, catering cars, restaurants, buffets or sleeping cars were included, Mark 1 coaches fulfilling these needs until Mark 3s came along in the late seventies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Mark 2 family underwent a number of tweaks and improvements during the 12 years construction period.  The principal visual differences included air braking from Mk2A, removal of the central bodyside doors and vestibule (Mk2B), introduction of wrap-around corner doors and provision of one WC at each end in lieu of two at one end (Mk2B), air conditioning - so no opening windows in the saloon area (Mk2D), no side corridor First Class compartment vehicles (from Mk2E onwards), varying style and colours of end gangway doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bachmann has produced early and late types of Mk2 vehicles, Mk2A with the characteristic early features of this widely-travelled type, and the final evolution of the Mk2, the Mk2F, including the popular Mk2F DBSO that was converted from the standard BSO for push-pull operation between Edinburgh and Glasgow in the late 1970s, with the dedicated Class 47\/7 'shove duff' fleet, converted from members of Class 47\/4.  The Mk2Fs are available with DCC operated lighting, and the DBSO itself has DCC controlled cab and interior lighting.  Bachmann also produces the Class 47 and Class 90 that have operated with the DBSO Mk2F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Mk2s have carried a wide range of liveries including BR Blue \u0026amp; Grey, Inter-City, Swallow, Regional Railways, ScotRail, Virgin Trains, Anglia, Network SouthEast, Virgin CrossCountry, Arriva, and many current liveries with railtour and heritage operators including Locomotive Services Limited (LSL), West Coast Railway Company and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Mk2s have during their 50+ operating life formed many of the famous named trains including The Flying Scotsman, hauled by Class 55 Deltics, the Royal Scot, Caledonian, the Electric Scot, and many more.  Regional Railways Class 37s were a long time favourite of enthusiasts, working with Mk2 coaching stock on rural routes especially in Scotland, Wales and more recently the Cumbrian Coast and Norfolk, and older enthusiasts will remember early Mk2s operating alongside steam in the North West during the well-liked and rich in modelling inspiration 'Transition Era' 1965-68.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43161560875243,"sku":"374-680B","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/products\/374-680B.jpg?v=1659186943"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-374-691-br-mk2f-bso-brake-second-open-coach-scotrail-saltire","title":"Graham Farish 374-691 - BR Mk2F BSO Brake Second Open Coach Scotrail Saltire","description":"\u003cp\u003eBritish Rail’s second generation of standard coach was designated the Mk2, following on from the highly successful Mk1 series.

Unlike the Mk1s however, the Mk2s evolved through different build batches, and such were the changes that a letter suffix was attributed to identify each of the different variants. Fewer coach types were built, with construction concentrating on vehicles offering standard accommodation of both first- and second-class, plus coaches that made provision for the Guard and train crew. Specialist vehicles such as catering and sleeping cars were not included, instead BR Mk1 and earlier types continued to fulfil these requirements until Mk3s with similar facilities arrived in the late-1970s to replace them. Like the Mk1s, the Mk2s were of steel construction, but featured more of a monocoque design than the Mk1, which added to their safety and integrity in the event of a collision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Mk2s were built in 1964 and by 1967, the Mk2A had arrived. The Mk2 family evolved over the years until the final iteration, the Mk2F, entered traffic in 1973, with the last examples built in 1975 paving the way for the Mk3s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to the Graham Farish model, like its real-life counterpart the Mk2A shares many of the highlights and features of the acclaimed Graham Farish Mk1 Coaches. The distinctive Mk2 shape gives the bodyshell and roof an unmistakable appearance and this is captured to a tee, complete with ventilators moulded expertly onto the profiled roof. Each end features separately fitted metal handrails, along with the corridor gangway and the two-part corridor doors within. On the bodysides each door is complete with hinges, handles and even door bumper details, whilst the flush glazing includes the sliding ventilators – a telltale sign that this is an early series Mk2.
