This coach pack is being produced as part of Bachmanns' range of models marking the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Network SouthEast brand for train services around London and the home counties.
A fleet of BR mark 1 coaches was still in operation in the mid 1980s deployed to may secondary medium to long distance trains. These trains included 'outer suburban' commuter services between London and Oxford, Birmingham via Banbury and into East Anglia which were taken into the Network SouthEast system.
Typical traction on these services included class 47 and 50 locomotives, with class 86 electric locomotives on electrified routes. Era 8. 1982-1994

A finely detailed model of the British Railways mark 1 second class coach with open plan seating painted in the 1980s BR Regional Railways livery with a weathered finish.

The Regional Railways business took reponsibility for non-InterCity and local train services in the majority of Great Britain, alongside Network SouthEast and several metropolitan transport executive managed areas. Based on the InterCity stripe livery Regional Railways adopted a blue stripe version, later seen on the new Sprinter DMU trains. Mark 1 and 2 stock was stilled used on some longer distance services, including the Trans-Pennine connections, and these coaches received this bright new livery.

Bachmann have produced an excellent model of these long-lived coaches with separately fitted handrails, water pipes and many other details.
Era 4

A very useful Mk.1 coach, these gangwayed full brake coaches were used with air-conditioned Mk.2 and Mk.3 coaches on many long-distance InterCity trains throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. These vans received the InterCity stripe livery to match the coaching stock.

The Mk1 coach was designed as the BR standard coach in the early 1950's. The gangwayed brake van provided parcels and luggage accomodation matching the new coach design. Bachmann's model is to the correct scale length and features many separate parts, replicating detail differences and equipment changes.

This model is finished as one of a small number of these vans operated under the Network SouthEast banner, principally on longer distance passenger services where additional luggage space was required and on trains where large numbers of bicycles were regularly carried.
Era 8 1982-1994

A detailed model of the BR standard deisng general utility van painted in the TPO red livery applied to vehicles used in conjunction with Royal Mail travelling post office services.

Era 8 1982-1994

An excellent model of the BR standard design bogie utility van. Based on the Mk.1 design chassis the simple bodyshell offered an entirely clear interior with three double doors on each side plus end doors. This allows the van to be loaded with mail and parcels from platforms or with larger items including road vehicles using a suitable loading dock or ramp.

This model is painted in the InterCity red stripe livery as assigned to motorail car carrying services in the 1980s.

BR Mk2 first class side corridor coach finished in ScotRail livery

Bachmann Branchline  39-412A 00 Gauge BR Mk2A BFK Brake Corridor First Coach Network Southeast Livery

A highly detailed model of the LMS engineers inspection saloon coaches. These inspection saloons were used by the regional civil engineers as a mobile office and conference facility. Large end windows allowed the track and structures to be viewed while travelling while the large saloons allowed for meetings and the planning of engineering works on site. A small kitchen and pantry in the centre of the coach allowed for refreshments to be supplied by an on-board steward.
The Bachmann model features saloon interior detailing at both ends of the coach plus full underframe and folding steps detailing.

Model painted in InterCity livery with yellow ends. During the 1980s and 90s several engineers had their saloons repainted into their favourite livery, including the then current InterCity red stripe scheme. Era 7.

The Mk1 BCK is a Mk1 Brake Composite Corridor coach meaning seating is split into compartments connected by a corridor on one side. The coach provided both first- and second-class compartments. Along with passenger seating this coach also houses a compartment containing equipment used to help brake the train.

The Mk1 RBR is a Mk1 Restaurant Buffet Coach containing a kitchen and a serving buffet counter. As well as these features, the Coach would also feature seating, usually with a capacity of 23 passengers.

After their brief stint in the BR Blue and Grey colour scheme the Mark 3 coaches saw a livery change in line with a corporate rebrand of high speed services. The new InterCity livery saw the coaches painted in a darker grey colour with a beige stripe along the top and bottom of the coaches with a red stripe under the windows. 

This livery was designed to emulate or copy the advanced yet ultimately fruitless APT project. This livery would largely remain unchanged even after a further rebrand to Intercity Swallow, before the coaches would transfer into private ownership at the end of BR.

These Mk3 coaches include the provision for lighting provided by the R7305 Maglight lighting unit, as well as fully detailed interiors and metal wheels throughout. For the first time, these coaches also include our new Buckeye style magnetic couplings.
