Lima H0 - 10 9709 - Mat '54 "Hondekop" 3-piece dummy Intercity of the NS. Entered service with the Dutch railways in 1956. Because of its shape it was quickly called "Dog's Head". Set is repainted looks realistic like old trains covered with rust and graffiti. Inside carriages are painted on dark grey/ rusty to make it look more realistic. Besides the re-made look of the carriages, they are in good condition without the original packaging. All pantographs works well with brand new springs. Set has short coupling so distance between carriages is smaller, more realistic look than older version of Lima Mat '54 set. Lamps from head carriages and all windows have been removed to make it look more like scrap, abandoned train standing from decades on train yard waiting to be demolished. Set can be a great decoration for your layout or just a unique piece in your collection. Carriages in this condition standing in trains yards, are becoming more and more rare todays. Usually I saw them on the first line of tracks in big train yards of metropolitan cities. These carriages have been standing there for many years waiting to be demolished. When graffiti writers enter the yard, they will pass by this first line of tracks, before going to paint running trains. Graffiti writers often test spray cans on these old carriages. They also come back to paint them after painting running trains on the way back. They usually make small plain pieces or tags on it. That's how after many years these carriages become to look so over-tagged. Attention (!): Set contains 2 dummy head carriages and middle carriage. There is no motor head vehicle is a set. Graffiti is done using Montana cans and Molotow markers (best quality) with a matte finish. All rust graffiti and tags are covered with protection matte finish allover trains. Graffiti was created in 2024 by "Joe Monster" - graffiti artist. Joe Monster* is a known graffiti artist, very active in Poland and also Ukraine, Spain, Hungary, Netherlands, Italy and Belgium in the years 1998-2005.
