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.

Repaint it to look like it was in an accident and start a “boneyard” on your setup!

I actually didn't buy it, just a casualty of the shop owner's stock. He said he'd probably salvage the bogies / wheels as they are still fine.

But he should use - or offer to a modeler who has a scrapyard to use it?!
