the big train and its track was just placed loose in the box. a little damage to the back of the train, but luckily nothing truly major. it runs well and is in great shape.
the sodor mail car came in on the same day. i took it to the club and it tracks quite well. looks decent behind thomas, but really needs to run with percy.
the stamps also arrived. the error in the first print has been corrected. the mistake was it showed henry twice... once on his stamp and again on percys! i got 3 sets, one of which is for blair.
