Stunning Mk2s!

I've bought a rake of these MK2s to go with my previous (and future) Accurascale BR Blue locos. They are stunning models with incredible interanl and external detailing. I can't wait for the Mk2Cs (and maybe more types?)!

Only in passing....but thank goodness I was!

Wasnt looking for any coaches at the time but Accurascale got me again!.. It was then not a case of which one but how many before they all got snapped up!. I got six Blue & Grey in the end and frankly you cant be disappointed by these models. I knew it would be good from the weight of the outer packaging. Accurascale have made everyone ( well most) raise their game in this regard. But the model inside is truly epic and a joy to own. Who knows one day I may even have a railway to use it on. In the meantime it sits on the shelf with the others on display behind a couple of my Class 50s. Whether that's prototypical I have no idea, not being a rivet counter but they look good none the less. Like all the Accurascale models I already have, this coach and its siblings are sublime and really show how it should and can be done for the right money!

Probably the best coaches I own

Excellent coaches, the detail and lighting is incredible especially the stay alive, glad to have got 3 when they went up for sale as they look perfect on my small double oval layout.

Complete Set

I was lucky enough to purchase the remaining Blue/Grey coaches that I hadn’t originally purchased, and now have all 11.
They look absolutely stunning in a complete rake, especially as I have fitted the magnetic couplings supplied, giving realistic close running.
The detail is absolutely fantastic, with the interior lighting showing off the exquisite interior detailing.
We just need some passengers to populate these coaches, and hopefully Accurascale will release their magnetic couplings as accessory multipacks to enable other coaches to be modified.
Thanks again Accurascale, keep expanding the fantastic range!

Best RTR coach

Without doubt this has to the best range of RTR coaches on the market. Extremely well detailed, lovely colour definition and super smooth running. I now have 8 Mk2Bs in the fleet and looking forward to the 2Cs to supplement them.

Well done to the whole team for raising the bar.

MkIIB brake first coach

Absolutely smashing coach, full of detail. Well worth the cost. Can't wait of the 2C's to come.

Very nice indeed

The quality of the coach is up to the usual Accurascale standard. The only observation I would make it is would be helpful to include provision to change from the magnet operated lighting to a DCC accessory decoder.

Excellent Quality

Accurascale have raised the bar for BR coaching stock. The MK2b is an excellent coach and highly recommend.

The onboard lighting is excellent and I am glad the body's are easy to remove. I will certainly be looking to fit passengers at somepoint.

The running is also superb, I like the inclusion of the magnetic couplings but I am saddened by the fact they are handed. There are therefore much better magnetic coupling options on market now. However, with the NEM pockets swapping couplings is a doddle.

Overall an excellent coach and highly recommended. I am looking forward to the Mk2c version and hope Accurascale choose to model other types in due course.
