39-688 BR Mk2F RFB Restaurant First Buffet Anglia No.1218
The Mk2Fs were the final evolution of the Mk2 family, British Rail’s second generation of standard coach design, and these coaches featured full air conditioning, interior panelling made of plastic, a new style of seating and tinted windows. Initially only three types were built, Tourist Second Opens, First Opens and Brake Second Opens, but some First Opens were later converted into Restaurant First Buffets, whilst several Brake Second Opens were fitted with a driving cab at one end, becoming Driving Brake Second Opens for push-pull use.
When it comes to the Bachmann Branchline model, we’ve gone to great lengths to replicate every detail of the Mk2F in miniature. The Distinctive Mk2 shape is captured to a tee whilst on the roof, the ventilators are expertly moulded, and the toilet panels are completed with metal wire grab handles. Each end features separately fitted metal handrails, the corridor gangway doors are modelled faithfully, even down to the two small windows, and the end footsteps at each corner are also included. Additional accessories are supplied which can be fitted to the ends, including the ETH socket and cabling, a choice of interchangeable tail lamps and lamp brackets, and alternative buffers allowing users to choose between extended or retracted buffers.
On the bodysides each door is complete with hinges, handles and even door bumper details, whilst the flush, tinted glazing gives these coaches their characteristic streamlined appearance. Part way through their careers the Mk2Fs were fitted with door interlock lights, and these too are modelled where appropriate and are fully functional on DCC On Board models (when used on DCC). Take a look below the solebar and you will find a full complement of equipment – all necessary for the braking, electrical and air-conditioning systems.
The B4 bogies are fitted with metal wheelsets that run in metal bearings, with each bogie constructed from several components to ensure that the springs, suspension, brakes and, where relevant, footsteps can all be modelled in full relief. The tension lock couplings fit into NEM pockets that are mounted on a close-coupling mechanism which is fitted to the coach floor, operating in tandem with the bogie as it turns. Inside each model is an interior featuring the prototypical layout of tables and chairs, and brake vehicles even contain the luggage compartment caging, whilst the icing on the cake is the livery application, using authentic colours, logos and fonts to give every model an exquisite appearance.
