...That lead C-62 is yours if you want it. Send me a PM.
You are a 'super' gentleman! :-)
Nice haul you got there. You certainly haven't held back on Yahoo Japan. :-)
Those Western style engines are really neat aren't they. I recently completed the full set of them, with at least 1 of the different types.
With regard to upgrading the motor in the Green Disney train (or others like it - top switch), be careful. The gearbox is a poor design. If you bump them or put excess load (hold the wheels) a idler pinion gear slips out of position, or even worse the gear splits. It is fixable if you have spare 12? tooth pinion or can work out which gear to slip back in place . It occurs quite easily so I wouldn't suggest the increase stress of an upgrade motor. I have 3 that are prone to the gear slipping out of place, even after gluing, and another 2 extras in my spares box just in case
