in this lot i also got a dr yellow, which has a cracked drive gear. the tan train has the same problem, and the grumpy thomas is in rough shape inside and out. thankfully, the troublesome tanker and red express coach are both pretty good, as is the rest of it.
the only major break is a battery operated light, but im not overly fond of those, so will repair as best i can but not too worried.
havent had a chance to take more photos than those shown. will get detailed ones this weekend hopefully.
the pair of double track points from ebay arrived as well, no small miracle. they came in something like a documents wallet, the type with the string that winds around two circle things, one on the body of the packet, the other on the flap. there was no tape, just that bit of string which i unwound in seconds. wont be buying from them again, despite the speedy delivery.
hopefully, the ride on train will be here in the next few days.
