I do a range of coach interiors, for Mk 2s, to fit in Farish (original) bodies. The clear bodies could be stripped and new livery painted on.

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.

General Discussion / BR MK2 Coaches - For the '64 -...
Last post by NOE 544R - Yesterday at 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!

Very pleasant but a little bit derivative, Mick @Newportnobby is spot on.

That's none too shabby.

Quote from: port perran on November 11, 2026, 04:46:13 PMTo me they very much fall somewhere between the Moody Blues and Fairport Convention.

I reckon you can throw a touch of Mamas & Papas in the mix, too.

A folk rock/prog rock outfit from the late 60s that has evaded me until now.

I'd never heard of Eclection until this afternoon.

To me they very much fall somewhere between the Moody Blues and Fairport Convention.

A couple of quite famous names graced their number in Trevor Lucas of Fotheringay and Fairport whose wife was Sandy Denny and drummer Gerry Conway also of Fotheringay.

Eclection never made it but I think their sound is interesting.
See what you think :
