    Thanks. Someone just mentioned it so I don't know what it is really. They said it was under a tarp! Anyway, that is one nice coach!

    Wouldn't it be lovely to get that grounded body onto a frame and have it running again!

    It would indeed! Available 6w u/f's are very difficult to find now though. This is MR 348 Picnic Saloon. There is another, MR 349 which looks in reasonable condition at DERBY. Ashbourne Rd (A52) Mackworth SK 314375. It would be even better if they could restore both to running order in the same train!

    Yes probably asking alot to make a brand new underframe. Would be possible but expensive I suppose.
