As far as I am aware the LMSCA do not have any coaches for sale at present. They have four coachs at Wirksworth at present:
BR Mk 1 SK in traffic. LMS Stanier Open Third, newly restored, public launch 8th April, see photo taken at Duffield during test run today. Needs lining and varnishing over the next week. BR Mk 1 BSK due in service after restoration at the end of this year. LMS Stanier Porthole Brake Third. Next in rerstoration queue, need to raise £30,000 to complete. LMSCA also has coaches at Rowseley. Peak Rail, under or awaiting restoration. Best wishes, John H-T.

I got the impression the original query was asking about the cost of a new build trailer car for a current build of DMU such as a class 185 or similar.
Is That Correct Mendipman? |

the cost of a 185 centre coach ??? 25 full trains of Diesel Desiro's cost €67M in 2006 which works out at roughly £25000 per unpowered coach and around £670000 per power/drive car now that's obviously approximate as I have only searched and found basic info so the costs may be different

Do you mean "unpowered" or "non-driving" as most modern DMU's(including 185's) have all their cars powered?
Unpowered trailer cars are common on EMU's.

I have often thought it would be fun to have an old carrage in the back garden for the train set..the loft is not big enough I have problems with sharp curves on modern locos
must have a look on e bay but then there is the transport costs .never mind it is something for me to think about |

As a digression (because that's the fun of forums), the unpowered cars on modern EMUs usually carry all sorts of other gear (transformers, convertors, compressors, pantograph, etc) and so wouldn't be that much cheaper to buy than a driving motor. |
