Mark Two B Too Good!!

After a reasonable period of wait after announcement, the former Lima model version, a good model actually, is surpassed by these stunning models!! Another missing link in quality detailed rolling stock for the diesel / electric BR era modeller, Accurascale keep on delivering excellence!!

The Next Generation of Coaches

The Mk2b/c coach was crying out for a decent model of the type, having been a stepping stone on the way to modern, air-conditioned Inter-City travel back in the 1970s and Accurascale have gone beyond "decent" into "extraordinary". They take model coaches to the next level - detailed interiors with correctly modelled seating, accurate, multiple colours for the interior (no more monochrome plastic vague interiors), extremely free running and extremely easy to access the interior for when you want to add some nicely detailed figures. The lighting is just right and the lighting remains on through the capacitor for such a long time it could probably but some EVs to shame, so no more disco lighting effects on dirty track (actually, the real coaches were notorious for failing electrics so arguably this might be a bit too perfect!).

Absolutely next level models at a price point that makes them unquestionably the best value for money coaches out there. Now, can we have some Mk2d air conditioned coaches to match?

Accurascale do it again!

When the parcel from Accurascale arrived and was opened, I was faced with the usual quality of packaging that we’ve come to expect from the team. The boxes are lovely and a bit easier size to manage in storage. On removing the lid and the foam, the first view of the BFK is nothing short of stunning. The shape looks perfect (to these aging eyes) and the livery application, something I DO know about, is exceptional. It’s the details in Accurascale products that always gets me and this doesn’t fail to deliver. The glazing with tiny ‘No Smoking’ signs. The interiors. The corridor and frame decals. All truly great. When placed on the track, the coaches are free running and the lighting is perfect. The stay alive truly does last for a rather long time and it was rather amusing placing them back in the box with the lights still on! Another cracking job and the other carriages match the standards.

Superb coach

This takes coaching stock to a new level . I particularly like the glazing which is the finest flush glazing I’ve seen . Running the coach reveals the stay alive function of lights which stay lit for sometime . My only issue is not ordering enough of these fantastic coaches

Exceptional

These models are just stunning. The detail and smooth running makes them the best 00 Mk2s produced to date

The best OO gauge model coach yet

Accurascale has done it again.

They have taken a while to arrive, but the wait was well worth it. The level of detail on these Mk2b coaches is superb.

Will definitely be ordering more when the next batch is announced.

Couplings

As expected the Mk2 coached were absolutely superb. My only problem was using the supplied alternative magnetic couplings. The looked good. However a couple of the magnets just fell out and the fact that the couplings were handed made these awkward to use. Changing to another make of magnetic couplings solved the problem. Brilliant coaches all the same.
