TT4089 Virgin Trains - Red - Mk2F Restaurant First Buffet - 1213

Joining the TT:120 range this October is an all-new model of the Mark 2F Restaurant First Buffet, the perfect accompaniment to existing rakes of Mk2F coaches in need of catering facilities.

The Mk2F RFB first entered service in the late 1980’s after conversion from surplus Mk2F First Open coaches, allowing for long distance Cross Country and InterCity trains to serve refreshments to customers. Based on our highly detailed Mk2F tooling, these new range of catering vehicles are a must have for your diesel-era layout.

TT4089 represents a Mk2F RFB in Virgin Trains red livery, numbered 1213.

History:

Following the privatisation of BR in the late 1990s, large numbers of the Mk2Fs were operated as locomotive-hauled stock by Virgin Trains, principally on the West Coast Main Line, but also on its cross-country routes, with a number of the ‘RFBs’ marshalled into fixed coach formations on long-distance services.
