open day on saturday, so heres hoping everything runs well. i am running both big loader store displays with a loop of vintage tomy track and accessories around them both.
finally nearing the end of a long and draining week, it was nice to have these small buys arrive today. happy to have the two tecology trailing cars, and the boxed log car.
open day on saturday, so heres hoping everything runs well. i am running both big loader store displays with a loop of vintage tomy track and accessories around them both. just won this old gem on trademe for $10. its been opened, and is minus two of the logs. but i will be able to replace them, really only wanted the box, and at that price, why say no?
theres been quite a bit of track work being done in town, mostly behind the steamrail shed so far.
i think next weekend there will be more done furthur up the line as there are packets of concrete sleepers scattered around, so be sure to check the linked page again for more photos over the next week or so. i joined a local buy and sell group on facebook a couple of weeks back, and spotted someone selling a tub of thomas and hotwheels today for $30. i could see a piece of trackmaster, plus the take n play. i messaged the seller and went to collect it almost immediately. the hotwheels trackset will likely go in the club garage sale. i will see if kylie wants the take n play, and if she doesnt that will be garage sale fodder too. the trackmaster is the cranky spinning cargo drop, missing crankys arm, the ramp and cargo, but the working hard diesel runs great, plus he was one of the last original trackmaster engines released.. also only have $150 left to pay on the bulk lot from kyle, so will hopefully have that in the next couple of weeks.
more photos in a couple of weeks!
i have nailed down a deal with kyle, an online friend and fellow collector. he was getting rid of everything and gave me first choice. of course i wanted everything. i talked it over with ucwepn, and together we agreed on a price. kyle accepted it, which is even better! this is just a sample of whats to come. this collection is quite expansive and will bulk up my existing stuff heaps. much will be kept, while other bits will be gifted. |
