on the morning of the day he died, mum and i popped into the warehouse. for several weeks, theres been a castle quest set in the thomas section that had had the thomas stolen from it. when we went in, it was in the clearance bin, reduced by $50! i grabbed it, naturally. didnt feel like posting that when i saw how close to the end joker was.
i had to leave the original step up coupler on the lead engine. the thomas one wouldnt hook up to the retro-fitted one on the back engine. lol. too low. they run ok together, but lack power, so they may take a trip to aussie for some work. want to them to be able to pull a decent amount of trucks, like a real double header would.

when i got home, i checked emails and trademe, finding a boxed set of 3 plarail bullet trains for $75. i nabbed it, and hope to have it next week. the middle car of the series 100 looks discolored, so will have to see how bad it is, and what it is.
my items from jauce have been shipped as well. will be a little like christmas when that arrives, with 2 powerful gordons and a few other bits and bobs.
