Mk 2f Refreshment First Open
A classic conversion. This is a Lima Mk 2f which I have owned since the late 1980's. I had attempted to convert this former FO into a RFO once before. Back in the early '90's I lacked both the materials and skills to do it properly and it languished unused for over a quarter of a century.
The three left hand windows were filled with styrene sheet and a new interior made to reflect the pantry and serving counter. Underneath the underframe boxes were re-positioned into their correct location and a pair of Honrby bogies fitted to replace the Lima originals.
Finally a new paint job and a set of old Airfix Mk 2d windows fitted for that tinted flush glazed look.
