Thanks for the info on The Virgin Train. I didn't realize it was so old. Looked on the bottom, Tomy 1989 made in Thailand. I am embarrassed as I had no idea that this was a real train company. I thought it was a magazine like Playboy or something and this Tomy train was just a promotional item![[Image: embarrassed-smile-smiley-emoticon.gif]](http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/yellow-hd/embarrassed-smile-smiley-emoticon.gif)
Now that I just said that out loud it sounds pretty stupid doesn't it. Geesh Super, why would an adult magazine use a kids toy for a promotional item

That all being said, after I watched Virgin Trains commercial maybe I wasn't wrong after all. Can you figure out the part with the symbolism?

Thats quite the haul Gerisplarail1.
I wish I had known about Yahoo Japan a while ago as I bought that whole snowblower set (not cheap) just to get the dummy diesel DE 10 1700 and sold the new set without it. I have seen several of the diesels by themselves listed in Japan. But come to think of it after Fees and double shipping it may not have amounted to much of a savings. It is a nice set though, do you have to chase those little snow balls around your hardwood floors?
Thanks for sharing your pictures.
