Beware of Angry Thomas..I just found this on eBay.
I purchased a very used one of these a few years ago...they are supposedly very rare...
Two months later up pop 10 brand new loose pristine ones that were listed for $9.99 EACH on eBay !!!
I think I bought two of them from the seller...NOT rare! Beware!!
think i paid about $20NZD for my first one, after getting into a local bidding war. mine was sold as not working, so i was determined to win and make him go. under the circumstances, i overpaid for a non-working engine.
this was before i knew plarail even existed... all i knew was this had a different face. i managed to get him going, thanks to a donor thomas. lol.
