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!

TT4119 depicts No.M3230 First Open in InterCity Executive livery.

History:The ‘FO’ is the First (Class) Open and was similar to the ‘TSO’ except that seating was in a 2+1 arrangement either side of the aisle. Mod-cons included combined pressure ventilation/air conditioning and no opening windows, with heat provided by electric heaters. 

They also featured cream folding plastic gangway doors and vestibule ends.
