I got this GVT coach off ebay for 4.99 + P&P, bargain dont you think?! Its a scratch built one, its not that god due to windows all messy and not straight etc, but from a distance it looks great. Runs well too. All I did to it was replace the GVT on the sides to MHLR...

Hmmm think id call it "rustic" but at £4:99 thats rather a good buy
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

I rather like it, It has a sort of 'Rustic' Charm. Plus a lot of coaches on NG Railways ended up looking like that too when the frames started to fall apart after a long life and the roof boarding was rotting away!

Awww, what a lovely little coach. I think the windows add character.

Well I passed it on last year to a up and coming line when he had no stock. Now, its been painted red, and now I've heard that he's filled it with cement :?: :?: :?:
:roll: :!: that his MSS can't now pull (oh I wonder why!).

I could *sort* of understand if it was a loco, but it would still be a bit excessive, but a coach, that's defeating the object of the game unless you have a Garratt.
