A perfect example of the British Railways Banana Coach. I actually have a couple that didn't do that, the exception to the rule. I read once that it's the result of mass production, the acetate wasn't given time to cool/set in the mould resulting in it becoming unstable.
Amazing what happens to plastic Will. Drastic plastic! Another issue is cold melting, which plastic toys stored with RC cables suffer from; melt marks where the cables rest on the toy.
It has a certain Dr.Seuss like quality.Almost like a Salvadore Daly sculpture.

ReplyDeleteI've heard of a 'Bendy-bus', but not a bendy train !
ReplyDeleteA perfect model to use in a "train wreck" diorama! SFZ
ReplyDeleteWow. That model really shows just how bad distortion could be if the plastic warped.
ReplyDeleteMy immediate thought was, perfect for an an HG Wells War of the Worlds trainset!
