the b train set took a while to put together, got there in the end though. the first coach was the hardest, but once i understood that, the rest was fairly easy. they look great and will make a nice static display. the wheels on thomas are moulded and part of the frame, so they dont roll. the coach wheels do, but none will sit nicely on a track due to be flat and not grooved.

wall-e is absolutely adorable and looks great. really pleased to have him. i have built him a little platform and attached him to one of my winter village base plates. a teddy in one hand and a diamond in the other just finishes his look.
while on the way back from wellington with mike, i bid and won two items on trademe. one is a boxed unused vintage tomy intercity train station. the other is a big surprise and wont be revealed until next week. mum and i are off to tauranga this weekend and will bring both items home on tuesday.
