After going a long way I finally got my childhood dream item a BIG I mean GIANT Thomas for £20 in total. A FB marketplace pick up .It came with the box (condition mediocre) it also came with all these trains and some ertls. the tomy engines that were in the listing were Henry, Thomas Diesel 10 (original one says 00 and is a lighter shade) ,Duck,Lady also original 2000 version,Diesel and last but not least Oliver yes Oliver he has one missing side rod but I will use the face for mine.
with all this track also I won't customise any of the engines and will keep them as variants as they are interesting I'm guessing that at one point the parents bought their kid(s) some extra trains
The GIANT Thomas when my little brother walked into the room he couldn't believe it as it was one item he also wished to have suffice to say he liked it as much as I did. Shaq Thomas.
the back
the other side
some images
and with James (not included but I already had one)
The 1st generation Thomas and the 2nd generation Thomas that I had one key difference is the middle wheel or lack there of
see
Diesel 10 is a lighter shade as well as the trucks
Annie and Clarabel
Lady (the one with a sun affected face is the one from the lot aka the 2nd one on the side)
the front
and also the older tomy logo compared to the modern one later versions had. She was somewhat corroded but I changed the battery contacts and it works I also took the middle bit and put it on my lady (which she didn't have)
Oliver from the lot has a darker face but I like it a bit more
The Duck on the side is from the lot.
in a perfect world were tomy changed the rolling stock around.
Duck and the "slip coaches"
Oliver Toad and s c ruffey I finally have a rusty s.c.ruffey after years of having the "new" one when he got repaired
and yes I put the water tanks the right way
I gave duck the shell from the lot as it was in perfect condition and Oliver the smokebox area
GWR forever they say
I also got some salt vans fro £13 not bad considering usually its 1 and not 2. The salt van came with dash and close shave duck but these are from dash.
