Does that mean there's going to be another run of CS Mk5's?

As always not sure which one to go for since I think I've seen all the CS 73/9's, I'm leaning towards 73966
It’s heavily hinted that there will be more Mk5’s.

Also suggestions more RHTT wagons might appear to go with the GBRF livery versions.

Announced today a second run of the CS mk5's. This time as individual coaches rather than packs.

i everyone,


What is the most requested rerun from our entire range?

Yes — it’s our glorious Caledonian Sleeper Mark 5 coaches. It seems plenty of people missed out the first time around, when we launched our very first coach range a few years ago.

We’ve been asked repeatedly in comment sections, at shows, and via email for their return.

We’ve teased relentlessly that they would make their comeback “soon”.

We even announced a new run of our Class 92, followed by an all-new Class 73/9 locomotive, to keep speculation about their return alive.

Well, the time has come, and we are delighted to announce that the Mark 5 Caledonian Sleeper coaches are back!

Available in single-car packs for the first time, our latest production run features all-new coach numbers, allowing you to bolster existing coach packs or even build a second train. This also enables every permutation of train formation — be it a 16-car Highlander or Lowlander set behind a Class 92, or a smaller train destined for the Highlands, perfect for our new Class 73/9.

  • Highly-detailed 1:76.2 scale on 16.5mm track
  • Separately applied etched metal and high fidelity plastic detail parts
  • Prism Free Glazing
  • Fully detailed Under-frame

Mirroring run 1, this production run of Mark 5 Sleeper coaches will be available direct only via the Accurascale website, priced from just £59.45 per coach (subject to bundle deals). Discounts of 10% are available when purchasing 2, 3, or 4 coaches, and 15% when buying 5 or more — representing unbeatable value for these beautiful coaches.

Delivery is slated for Q1 2027, with production commencing following the completion of our Mark 2 coaches next year.

We’ll also have more news on our Mark 5a coaches in the new year — so watch this space!

Cheers!
