Mk1 FK & BCK Carriages Announced

Lionheart Trains is proud to announce the expansion of their exquisitely modelled Mark 1 coaches. 

The range will now include the BCK and FO variants of the coach with five liveries being prepared: BR, Carmine and Cream, BR WR, Chocolate and Cream, BR Maroon BR Blue Grey. The Lionheart Trains model is based on the early rendition of the Mark 1 coach built between 1951 and 1960. 

 The BCK will be a very useful addition to any layout as it comprises first, third and luggage / guards area. They are ideal for everything from cross country services to a single coach behind a locomotive on a branch line.
