I don't know why I bought this one...
Even though I am a big fan of this Western Type Steam train I have not had the urge to purchase this Adventure Island Shuppo version. I had another moment of weakness because there have been so little for me to buy lately that "I JUST HAD TO BUY SOMETHING!!!". Last month I received a very large bulk purchase of "Junk" trains that included one of these that simply had a broken wire that when fixed the train ran great. Only problem is that it didn't have the tender/battery cover. Once I had one in my hand I got that tingling feeling to have one. When I saw this new in the box one listed very cheaply (at least I thought it cheap) I placed an opening bid and no one else thought to place a bid so she was mine. This new one runs beautifully and I think completes our collection of this type of engine.
