What can I say? I really needed that airport...

Not only for Thomas; it will serve nicely for other trains too, i.e. Hong Kong Airport Express!
I wanted the airport, but the one with Jeremy and long runway is too big for my layout: I would have to remove some existing elements, and/or rearrange a large part of it, but for now I'm satisfied with the appearance of my layout. This less space-demanding type of airport is therefore just fine. I waited for quite some time for that set to appear on eBay for a reasonable price and all elements (and working airport, of course). This one has two working modes: you can start the plane by moving that little blue button/switch next to the airport-building, or with the stop-rail. In the latter case, the plane starts spinning at the moment the train stops at the stop-track. The airport uses 1 C battery.
Other elements of this 2005 set are also nice and usable: the suspending bridge, classic shed, grey bridge pillar and piers. I didn't have this kind of paint barrels either, they are also nice! Really great set! This is the kind of sets I wish Tomy is releasing nowadays...!
