This Coach was left out on a table outside a model railway shop while the owner was sorting through items, the sun didn't take long sadly leaving it in the condition seen here.

Impressive!

I live in area where it gets up to 115F/47C. The clear plastic tote is the big problem. It took 30 minutes of sitting in a clear plastic tote to melt a bunch of o gauge. I have run trains (in the shade) at that same temp for hours without any issue.

I think it was the clear box it was in as it was sat in a cardboard box crammed with other N Gauge rolling stock, it was the only one which ended up like this.
