I was browsing ebay today when I stumbled upon these mysterious coaches. One is a weird blue coach, similar to the one mighty mac has. The other is a completely red (even the roof is red) coach. Does anyone know anything about these???

Train it, plane it, you name it!
The red coach looks like a custom paint job to me as I have never seen a coach like that with the same colored roof as the sides.
Buy that blue coach. We had a picture of a couple show up here a couple of years ago and if I recall correctly, no one could come up with where it came from and there were suggestions it was sun bleached but if that were the case the white parts would be yellow.
I would have bought it but the shipping is too much from the UK.
BTW:...because we have thousands of visitors every day who may jump on this before our members could even see your Links, I moved your Thread down here for there eyes only.
Yes, the red coach is a paint-job, and not the best. But I have another question...
What is that enormous slate-wagon in the picture with the blue Mighty Mac coach?
I don't know either. Maybe from one of them knockoff sets like this one. I got this screenshot from a youtube video.

Well I did not manage

May have been a BPT visitor that saw this Post before we moved it to this members eyes only Forum. I am holding out that someone here grabbed it and can study that blue coach for us.
I would assume its no one in the US as it looks like thats the only country they do not ship too.
Anybody here grab it?
I'm fairly sure from looking at my own Mighty Mac coaches that at least mine has a painted roof, meaning that sun damage would turn the side blue and tan but the roof would stay white. I know someone on Twitter who has a now blue coach who has owned it since it was green, his is less tanned but certainly turning blue and the roof is fine.
Possibly there are two versions of Mighty Mac coach, an earlier one with a painted roof and an iffy plastic mix that yellows and a later one with neither, but as best I can remember mine have painted roofs. I'll take a closer look next time I am home.
I have a
website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
