I think it was originally a Mk1 brake composite (BCK), the brake 1sts or 2nds would have a larger brake area. Bachmann may do this (with the original ends).
I visited the L&HR a few years back and I think this may be a conversion to provide a better environment for wheelchair users. They've also fitted extra steps to one side of each coach, as all their platforms are the same side. Many of the preserved railways seem to have hacked around Mk1s to make them more accessible.
