Nice finds. What does the trailing Pokemon car look like?

Thanks Super. I believe it is like this one. Sort of hard to tell but looks like the western River style cars.

Did a little research to find that Ucwepn did an unboxing and first run of this hard to find set. I think Geris may have one too. http://myplaraildepot.weebly.com/pokemon.html

There are 2 variations of the Pokemon Streamer...Ucwepn and Geris both have the version with "Pokemon" written on the side of the cab, but Ripley has the same version that we have that says "2005" on the cab...Don't know which came first or why they're different though?

Did one maybe come with the set and one sold individually? I am thinking I have only ever seen it in the set but maybe not. Or maybe different years?

2005 is a pretty significant number as it refers to the year the PokePark opened. Perhaps since it is based on a PokePark train they also sold the 2005 model there?

Another great eBay score. I have one of these in almost mint condition with the box thanks the the wonderful Nigels, but could not pass this one up. My best offer of $21 was accepted so a great deal in my mind. It did not come with all of the track/switches, but I am ok with that. This is getting into the Christmas layout too since my other one is in its box. Big Grin

$21 that is an unbelievable deal for this hard to find station, especially here in the States. Should look fantastic in your Xmas layout, maybe with some festive lighting.. Great grab Ripley,

I agree with Super, you got an amazing price on it. One of these days I need to hunt down a complete Knapford Station myself, quite a fan of it.
