My brother used to have a lot of ertl stuff when we were younger, I think it all got thrown away as old toys do, they had been well played with and they were very chipped (on the die cast bodies) and damaged (on the plastic couplings) last year my son was visiting my mum and dad's house and found my brothers ertl Percy, it was by the pond in the back garden, I can only imagine it had been out in the damp soil for the past 5 years + but it was still in remarkably good condition, some bits had start corroding like the screws underneath which hold the plastic base & bottom to the die cast top, also where the paint had chipped off it had started corroding.
It made me think about how much my brother loved those trains so Christmas this year I bought him a job lot of ertl trains from eBay, I think he liked them!
