@nwrthomas25, I agree. Whenever I see one on ebay, it always goes for a high price. I also think it is far superior to the trackmaster version
Train it, plane it, you name it!
The TrackMaster 1 version is also well done. The only downsides to it are the position (height) of his tanks, 2D details that should've been moulded, incorrect headlamp, front window stickers that don't follow his boiler/tank and no tubes (?) over the coupling rods. However, it does have better boiler bands that are actually split in the middle.
Also, Plarail has a normal Blue Mountain Mystery variant while TM only has a Talking one (that reuses Salty's truck with a Victor soundchip).
