This kit is designed to convert four standard BR Mk1 coaches into a Swindon class 123 Inter City DMU.
This kit comprises of:

- Full set of underframe and solebar components
The donor coaches required for this kit are: Second Open TSO/SO x 2, Corridor Composite CK x 1, Corridor Second SK x 1
Bachmann or current Hornby coaches are
recommended, as these have the correct pattern gangways and come with with B4 bogies.
To fit the overlays, all raised detail
needs to be removed from coach sides and a strip removed where the replacement
glazing will fit.
On two of the coaches, the ends need
to be removed to fit the cabs.
The underframe detail will also need to be modified.
These will be detailed in the
instructions.
A suitable powered mechanism is also
required. The Hornby Class 121 or Replica motorised chassis are recommended.
The final pictures show each of the
four different coach types made up using Replica donor parts. The final
