RE: What is the one train you wish you had the most? - Off The Rails - 08-08-2017
Well, thanks to Super, I've managed to acquire the C11 with the purple Suha 43/44(?) coaches. This set has been one of my major grails and I'm thrilled to have it!
Of course, this means that Tomy will now retool the Oigawa Thomas as the C11-171.
EDIT: Oh, to stay on topic, the question is which locomotive or set moves to the top of my "most wanted" list? I don't really know.... The C58 SL Ginga or perhaps the C62-2 and -3 double header (IIRC). A string of ~4 blue Suha 43 coaches or a couple more red and white coaches to go with my EMD F-series. A couple green and brown 7000-series container cars to go with my growing diesel fleet, or perhaps a C battery powered C12. I'm not sure if there's just one that stands out at the moment.

there is 1 train/set tht i'm hunting for. after my last defeat... this set is high on my priority list. i've decided to retire from acquiring rare trains. i wish to complete my collection and enjoy these toys-for a change-
i'm looking for "the mega set" its a motor rail edition. offered in the u.k and Australia.
any info or offers i'm there.

I wish I had a Tomy powerful Gordon. But that is quite expensive. I would try to get a Tomy powerful Gordon tribute as seen on ucwepn's channel but I believe they are all sold out. Happily for me though I have found out a way to make a powerful Gordon by adding a bit of clay to the face and carving out the angry face. If you have a hard time remembering the exact look of the face then you could pull up a photo reference. All in all I will probably get an older trackmaster Gordon or Tomy Gordon and make the face.

For me personally, I'd say Bachmann Oliver and another mail car and maybe Toad, too.

Pretty much considered the Holy Grail to the Thomas Wooden Railway Community. It's interesting that there are quite a few accounts of community members finding them in the wild from owners that don't know the true value of the two items..
