gazmanjack Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Free listing weekend so your starter for 10 is this one from the 'They Shoot Horses Don't They?' category. Apparently it would look good in a scrape yard. Would look better in a skip IMHO http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavily-Weathered-00-Guage-Old-Disused-Railway-Coach-Graham-Farish-Carriage-/221259916866?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item33841e6642 ps there's a link on the ebay page to 10 more pics if you haven't seen enough! Yes, I know these coaches came out with lamps on the tables but this can't be all that abadoned... Looks as if someone is still dinning in it with that lamp in the window... Surely if you were a young misfit that had no respect and you came across an old coach that was abandoned, you wouldn't leave the lamp on the table, would you ??

PatB Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Did any Pullman cars actually end up in an abandoned and neglected state? Presumably they went somewhere when withdrawn but, apart from ones used for other functions such as the one at the Pecorama, I don't recall ever seeing any photos.

As a collector's item, it might possibly have been worth £10 (not to me I hasten to add!), but, b*%%ered up, it is indeed only skip worthy. As I've said before even scrapped items have to be modelled properly. Old junk remains just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the yellow thing, I've got three of these, which cost rather less than £10 for the lot. I'd be capable of painting them yellow and adding transfers myself, if I wanted to (which I don't!) PS I'm not surprised it's an "unique item". Edited July 28, 2013 by Il Grifone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
