Just left there

If it bothers you that they are left to rot, buy and restore them. Oh, you'd rather spend the money on something else? Guess it didn't bother you that much after all.

I would if I could but they're owned by the Kent And East Sussex Railway. Therefore there is truly no point in getting truly bothered by it.

Maybe give them a call and offer to donate some tarps to cover them?

Honestly heritage rail isn't easy. If they spend their limited resources on this it means less for the nice 37s, 56s, or steam engines with more modern coaches that they can actually run. I wouldn't knock them for letting some shitty old coaches go to rot.

Maybe

>>1063346
They're dumped there because somebody bothered to save them from the scrapheap.

They'll be worked on eventually. These guys have very limited resources and usually are all-volunteer, so they can only do so much at once.

They're on a preserved railway.

The problem is the owners don't want to part with them because they will "get around to it."

Always the case.

Is that the same rake of...rotten wood, that used to have 45015 rusting away at the end of it?

Both of you have misunderstood what I said.

>>1063899
What was it then?

>>1063849
No it's not

There just isn't enough money or time for it. Plus Preserved railways are just that, not museums.

Many of these are generally deemed beyond saving or have many existing examples and so are cannabalised to provide for the needs of rarer coaching stock.

Plus as >>1063392 pointed out; they are there because they where saved from scrap. Preserved railways scrambled to grab what they could as steam was scrapped, resulting in having tons and tons of stock with little room to repair what they had and the priority was to get money flowing in to fund more important work.

OK then
