Why is it that 90% of US coaches you see on Ebay are observation cars?

I put it down to them making just as many observation cars as ordinary cars. You might use 5 or 6 ordinary cars in a rake, but you only need 1 observation car. I found the same thing with old time combine coaches.

To all MOTHS who inhabit our planet:

Why do you come out when it gets dark only to fly to a direct light source such as my porch light?

If you like lights that much, why do you not stop being nocturnal and come out in daylight instead? You could quite happily join your butterfly cousins whom have worked out that daylight is good for winged insects whom are attracted to bright light sources............................
