Professionally weathered and with Bachman’s customised crew and stewards installed and lots of passengers fitted this train really looks great.

This model number 31-256DC is for the Midland Blue Pullman with yellow ends but this one has blue ends with the emblem (Pullman.??) on the loco’s nose. So it’s either in the wrong box or it’s been repainted.

I bought it from the guy who weathered it but had never run it. He had it on display as he didn’t have a layout. It’s had little use in my ownership being confined to cruising around my small layout a couple of time a year. It runs perfectly, the lighting functions operate properly and all the boxes are in great shape with little evidence of wear but I must reluctantly sell it as I have no room for storage any more.
