Title: BR MK2 Coaches - For the '64 - '72 Modeller
Post by: NOE 544R on November 12, 2026, 08:03:06 PM
Hi all,

I'm hoping some of the real world railway enthusiasts will be able to help me. Unfortunately I have more interest in the models so my real world knowledge lacks.

I'm looking into buying a rake of MK2 Coaches. I Model roughly the End of steam, so anywhere between 1964 - 1971.

Am I correct in thinking;

MK2 Original - 1964 - 1966. If so, are there any available models for this period?
MK2 A - 1967 - 1968 - I see Farish have models of these available in blue/grey livery
MK2 B - 1969 - Again Farish seem to produce models
MK2 C - 1969 - 1970 - As above, Farish models.

Thank you in advance. Suspect the answers to this question will be rather expensive!

Farish have only made Mark 2A coaches and Mark 2F coaches currently. They made Mark 2D when Poole based and originally as China production in 2004. They have produced the Mark 2As as original Mark 2s at First Open coaches in BR Green and IIRC BR maroon.
