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.
