Product Description
Utilising the existing highly detailed TT:120 Mk2E model, Hornby are delighted to present a further run of these coaches in the InterCity Executive livery of the 1980’s.
The British Railway Mk2E and MK2F were the final development of the Mk2 coach family and were conceived to operate on some of the longest distance trains running across the British network. They are widely considered as one of the best coach vehicles built by BR, owing to their comfort even at high speeds.
These coaches are well suited for accompanying our range of TT:120 diesel locomotives like the Class 37, 47 and 50, and would even run in mixed rakes with other Mk2’s like those painted in BR Blue & Grey!
TT4117 depicts No.M9499 Brake Second Open in InterCity Executive livery.

History:
The BR Mk2E was produced across three years from 1972 to 1974 and consisted of three principal vehicles, one of which was the ‘BSO’, which is the Brake Second Open.
There were no ‘BSKs’, the last of the side-corridor vehicles finished with the MK2Ds in 1971/2, so passenger brake vehicles now had ‘open’ seating areas with a central aisle.
