[Mercator II]

Hi all

I am in need of some of your help again

My favorite loco, Clan Line, needs her support coach.

I have collected a couple of Bachmann MK1 Pullman coaches with the intent of recreatng the VSOE British Pullman set she hauls currently from London Victoria on the Surrey Circular.

Now the problem is I cant find any pics of her lastest support coach, I know its the second one they have had for her, and am almost certain it is painted umber & cream to match the Pullmans, and think it may now be a MK2, but after hours googling, I cant find any pics, even on the MNLPS home web

Anyone able to help please?

Many thanks

The latest support coach is indeed a Mark II (IIb, it seems), named Mercator.

Emblem close-up (might be worth getting decals custom-produced):

I'm afraid I can't be of help in supplying the coach number and close-ups of the writing &c.

Thanks for those, some very good pics

Will have to get more than the emblem created, need the MNLPS wording above the windows in Pullman style writing

Off to ebay now to look for a MK11b BCK for the donor
