another big loader set - sunhuntin - 02-23-2017 at this rate, i should give up on the trains and just focus on the big loader sets, lol. ive spent the last 3 afternoons with fellow club member, mel, sorting donations for our upcoming yard sale. we are roughly 3/4 of the way done and decided to have today and tomorrow off. i hit the thrift shops for the first time in a week, and had a great score at the first one. this set is identical to the one i had as a child, and is 100% complete, even has the instructions. [not shown, as i was scanning them] it also has an original price sticker from a long gone department store. mum doesnt recall where my set came from, but its possible they shared a shelf once upon a time it was priced at $4.50, and had "not running" written on the sticker. the old ucwepn tap and a couple of forced rolls, and it was running perfectly. RE: another big loader set - Ucwepn - 02-23-2017 Very nice! Looks in great shape RE: another big loader set - Super - 02-23-2017 What Luck! Finding a toy from your childhood in such good condition and you sure can't beat that price. Do you have to pay Ucwepn royalties for using the "Old Rap" RE: another big loader set - Nigels - 02-23-2017 Lovely looking set Sun, as you have several do you build one big layout or just take them in turns? RE: another big loader set - sunhuntin - 02-23-2017 thanks, guys. the set doesnt look like it ever got used more than a couple of times. not a bad idea, super. im sure he would like that, lol. the box is a style i havent seen much of, and can only recall one or two on ebay. nigel, as yet i have only used the store display at shows. the other sets i have never set up. i do make use of the chassis and covers, though. i more buy for those and the different box styles than anything else. edit: after hunting through the old photo albums, i finally found a photo of myself with it already set up, dated jan 1991. safe to assume it was a gift for christmas 1990. still hunting to see if theres any photos of it under the tree to confirm.
