Mixed Bag Today

Ok, well here's today's haul, a varied bag from Amazon, eBay and a surprise from the newsagent

I'll start with the newsagent, I'm not usually one for buying the magazines, but this one caught my eye due to the cover mounted spencer loco;



Next up we have a couple of arrivals from Amazon, some old but new in box fisher price models (i.e. pre-revolution <yuk>).

First up 'Introducing Porter';



Secondly 'Talking Thomas';


This is an addition to my existing (pre-owned) talk-and-action Thomas and real steam Thomas, not to mention the numerous variants on 'standard' Thomas's I seem to have aquirred of late.

The last one is a bit of an oddity, it is a Hornby 'Thomas and Friends' breakdown crane. Not 'faced', but none-the-less a lovely model, this is based on their standard breakdown crane, except is in black (and weathered) as opposed to the standard one which is usually red as I recall. This is something I've never owned despite a large'ish collection of 'OO' gauge locomotives and rolling stock (normal not Thomas). But of course not being faced it is useable in either context. This is brand new in box and as I understand it retired several years ago;
