Product InfoUpon nationalisation in 1947 the newly formed BritishRailways saw the need to standardise their passenger stock, having inherited apatchwork of coaches of all different specifications from each of the big fourwho were in turn sometimes running a wide variety of stock from theirconstituent companies. This new coach would have to be perfect for everypossible use that the new BR may need it for, which could be tricky when thecoach would need to be used on high speed summer boat trains in the south andcold winter services in the north of Scotland.These coaches would be constructed from 1951 to 1963 withonly one significant change made during this time, a swapping of bogies in thelast gasps of the Mark 1s build cycle. The Mark 1 coach as it would bedesignated was designed to be a ‘go anywhere, do anything’ coach utilising thebest features from each of the big four coaches the company had inherited. TheMark One coaches were stronger than the designs they replaced, with theirintroduction being commended in rail safety reports. These coaches would be instock in one form or another in the UK until 2010, when the Mark One basedClass 421 was withdrawn from service on the Lymington Branch Line.Safety InformationDetailed scale model.
