THIS IS COACH M IN A CONSIST. SEE HERE FOR A FULL OVERVIEW https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2487872182

Fed up with riding with the peasants? Well here you are, relax in First Class, with bigger seats and much more room.

The Mark IVs were built by Metropolitan-Cammell between 1989 and 1992 for British Rail's Intercity services from London King's Cross and along the East Coast Main Line, to be hauled by Class 91s at high speed. In 1996, following privatisation of the railways, operation of the sets was handed over to Great North Eastern Railway (GNER), who refurbished the coaches to a high standard, under the name of "Project Mallard". Over this period, the vehicles gained a very good reputation as being comfortable, reliable and fast trains, and became something of a pop culture icon, with the elegant blue livery and crest, harking back to the Golden Age of rail. It is in this format that these coaches have been re-created. In 2007, GNER experienced financial difficulties, and the East Coast Main Line fell into the hands of National Express, who did relatively little to the sets, other than remove any GNER branding. In 2009 they changed hands yet again, this time to nationalised operator East Coast, who repainted the units in their grey and purple house colours. In 2015, the Mark 4s were handed to Virgin Trains, who reliveried the vehicles into their final paint job, a striking red and white. The trains were refurbished again, giving them some of the most comfortable interiors in the UK, but by 2018 London North Eastern Railway (LNER), another nationalised operator, had taken over, and in 2019-2020, the Mark. 4s were replaced by class 80x "Azumas", and most have been scrapped.

This took around 2-3 hours every day for two weeks, so I really appreciate your interest!

This Coach (M), has 2 gangways, for operation in the centre of a consist, and is First class, with one toilet. I have attempted to make this as performance friendly as possible, whilst keeping detail levels high, but please feel free to leave any feedback in the comments.

And finally, I have also built a GNER Class 91. If you want an appropriate loco, here you are!:
