    Something some reskinner might want to have a go on?
    There are three things that are almost imperative for making early 1990s formation, but are sadly missing from AP's Mk2d-f pack:
    -Mk2d BFKs (17139-17172) - 4 6-seats comparments (total 24 places) - the only AC Mk2 compartment stock. Seems to have been mostly used on the Great Western in the early 90s
    -Mk2d TSOs (6200-6235) - FOs rebuilt to 2nd class with 2+2 seating. Total 58 places. Had greater seat pitch than regular TSOs, and were often used in night trains.
    -Mk2f TSOs (6800-6829) - FOs rebuilt to 2nd class with 2+2 "High Density" seating. Total 74 places. Often used on GEML.
    They could probably be fairly easily "faked" by adding the yellow 1st class stripe to the AC BSO model (AFAIK the AC BSOs and BFKs had identical carbodies), and by removing the 1st class stripe from FOs, and changing the autogen numbers. Of course, the interiors would still be wrong but unless AP expand their Mk2 AC pack at some point would probably be the closest available for prototypical scenarios
