Definitely the right word to describe it. Apart from the great amount and variety of rolling stock and the old dark blue track, it's also got some nice accessories (even though most of them were included in the Ultimate Set, as already mentioned). So that's how the Knapford Station roof parts are built; I somehow thought each of the four would be a separate piece and there were horizontal beams for additional support. Good to know they are two each since it would make them stronger (perhaps that's how I should build them for my custom one). Neville's shell seems to be missing and so is Harvey's power unit, but that should be nothing compared to the rest.
Funny you mention the Steam Along Thomas, because I've just retouched my powered Annie that came from it. The motor still worked despite how Thomas was forcibly removed, but only until a black wire came loose and there was no way to get it to run again. I replaced the worn out traction tyres, but the battery pack is disconnected and I'm not entirely sure where the wire was when it worked. Until then, I've replaced the wire coupling with my Emily tender one. If my triangle head bit were small enough, I would've replaced the rear coupling and possibly the drive unit. Once the wire could be resoldered to where (I think) it was, I'm still hoping to use the chassis for almost anything that's long and doesn't have coupling rods. By default, she and the long Clarabel will be repainted to resemble Express Coaches. It would also be great if the switch that originally activated the steam and sounds could be repurposed for optional lights.
I'm glad you were happy to receive this wonderful collection.
