Abstract

This article from Hornby Magazine discusses the accuracy of model train coaches, specifically focusing on Mk 1 coaches from the 1960s. The author explains that while many models of Mk 1 coaches are available, they may not accurately represent the specific features and details of coaches from different time periods. The article provides a step-by-step guide for modifying and improving the accuracy of Mk 1 coaches, including removing end steps, replacing bogies, and adding details like reinforced window frames. The author emphasizes the importance of accurate rolling stock in model train layouts and suggests that these modifications can be done to existing models rather than replacing them entirely.
