Latest "Bundle"

Well thanks to the help here I managed to get hold of some replacement couplings to fix the loco and carriage that had a problem, so that's all good.

However while doing this and generally going through the rolling stock I found one truck which isn't Tomy, has different couplings which are much simpler - just pin and socket type - but otherwise is quite an attractive wagon as it has a molded face rather than a sticker and an integral load.

I was just curious if anyone can identify it? Please see the pics below;




Size-wise it is on a par with a normal Tomy thomas truck, just a little smaller but not enough to make it unusable. However the couplings would make it a little difficult to use with the standard Tomy/Trackmaster stock I think, but apart from being a decorative piece I can see potential for example in transplanting the face/load onto other rolling stock - sounds like I'm thinking of modding already lol!

If you were still looking for information, I believe you have a De Agostini Truck 2. Here's the Thomas Wikia page on the subject.
They're kinda hard to find on eBay because they have no branding underneith, but here's an example of what they are sometimes listed as. 2004 Plastic Thomas are usually your best search terms as far as eBay goes.
