Bachmann DRS Mk2F Coaches

As well as the two Class 20s from the Bachmann Collectors Club, I also splashed out on these three Mk2F coaches in the DRS Compass livery and which are all DCC-fitted.

This means that they all have internal lighting while the brake coach also has a tail lamp that can be set to steady or flashing.

Here we have the first of the three coaches, standing in the middle road at Sueston station.

This is a Tourist Second Open (TSO) with the Running Nº 6045 and the Catalogue Nº 39-675KDC.

The next coach is another TSO with the Running 5919 and the Catalogue Nº 39-676KDC.


Finally we have this Brake Second Class Open (BSO) with Running Nº 9525 and Catalogue Nº 39-700KDC.


With the coaches now standing at Platform 3 we can see that, being DCC-fitted, means they can also have operating passenger door lights, which is a really cool feature.

I believe only 400 of the two TSO.s were produced while just 350 of the BSO's were made.

I just need to acquire a matching Direct Services liveried locomotive to haul these very special coaches.
