Models
The British Railways Mark 2 design has been manufactured by many of the British model railway manufacturers. These carriages have been fairly popular, although they are not produced in such large numbers as the younger Mark 3 stock. Bachmann Branchlines, Hornby, Lima, and Mainline have all produced models of the Mark 2 coach in recent years. The majority of these cars are Mk2E/F cars, although Hornby does offer Mk2A/B models (possibly re-tooled models from the former Lima range).
Model railway manufacturers today provide examples of the FO, TSO, BSO, and also buffet cars. They are offered in a range of liveries such as Virgin Trains, First Great Western, British Rail, and Network South East.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
