I hope this is not a silly question but regarding mk2 coaches type b or c TSO which did not seem to have a centre coach door and vestibule, does / has anyone produced an 00 gauge model in grey/blue. I have picture of a Euston Fort William sleeper that appears to have one coupled to the two mk3 sleepers. I don’t remember Scotland having many of these. If anyone has any info on the real world or 00 gauge versions I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks

I'm not sure if anyone is producing them now, but Lima certainly did some years ago.

The mark 2b/c TSO in the photo is part of the London portion and would therefore have been a London Midland Region vehicle rather than a Scottish one. However, in the mid-1980s the Scottish region did have a few mark 2b FKs (corridor firsts), which were subsequently downgraded to CK (corridor composite) for use on the Glasgow/Edinburgh-Inverness services.

I've just had a look on the Accurascale website. They look like lovely models, but at £60 a pop, they're well out of my price range!
