MK2a coaches
 

Does anyone know if any MK2a BFKs or SOs (SK?) have ever received Intercity Mainline/Swallow livery?

I got some Hornby models in 00 gauge unpainted through a spares shop and am bored of painting NSE and Regional Railways aswell as having a shrinking supply of blue paint!

CJM Models seem to be confident enough to charge £175 for an N-gauge model of a Mk2a BFK in Intercity livery.:eek:

Every now and then I am comforted in the Knowledge I chose OO. This is one of those times.

The book "British Rail Mark 2 coaches: The design that launched Intercity" has just been reprinted. Might be worth a trip to the Ian Allan shop for a "browse" through the pictures;)

Seen one in a book I think called 'British Railways: Dieselisation to Privatisation' by Brian Sharpe (exclusive to Whsmiths!)

Page 84 in a train pulled by 47605, god knows what the number was though.
