he talks clearly and seems to run ok, though with a bit of a hitch. i will run him at running night next week and see if he needs anything. originally, he was sold with a sodor steamworks sign, which is missing. he did come with his load of spare parts, which was good.
coming home from work last night, i stopped in at the warehouse and found crash and repair salty on the pegs. to my knowledge, he is a limited release and not in the states, so i bought two so i can keep one sealed.
will get more detailed photos next week. 11 days straight for the last time. my job finishes next thursday. going to miss the people there. loved every minute of it for the most part. good crew.
