sneak peek...

shhh, ucwepn

this pic is a sneak peek of a large bulk lot i not long completed a deal for. now i just need to pay and organise a courier to collect from a city 2 days drive away.



thanks firstly to my buddy for selling it to me, and to ucwepn for his accurate price assessment. price i paid will be revealed when i actually have everything in hand.

Don't ya just love unpacking a large Lot of used trains like this? I love those old, Tomy, Billboards which is like Tramp's Avatar. This building looks interesting from above. Might it be a station with a track running through it?

thats exactly what that is, super. the orange buttons on top can be pressed to show an upside down workman on one end, and a sign with tools on the other. guess its meant to be a maintinence shed? has stop and reverse switches i think. i have several of these already, but never say no to vintage tomy!

the europark set came with a variation designed as a haunted house, where the button produced a bat, and it had free swinging doors. was also white with a red roof, if memory serves.

That Haunted House one sounds neat.

and for super, the maintainence shed. i need to dig out a haunted house version, i am completely lacking photos of that!

Wow, those boxes are huge and by the looks through the hand holds jam packed with goodies. Anxious to see the grand opening and what treasures lie beneath.

Thanks for the photo of that Haunted House, it looks to have breakthrough doors.

Oh my giddy aunt, I thought I'd seen big job lots before, but I think that matches and probably even exceeds the biggest one I ever landed and that filled the boot of my car at the time lol!!

All I can say is congratulations Sun and hope you get loads of nice, unusual and rare goodies amongst the lot!!

thanks, nigels. its a big lot, thats for sure. likely my second biggest haul. for some reason, many of us collectors are also hoarders and more is never enough. my collection is almost at breaking point, and needs to be sorted out urgently.

the seller has just informed it was collected a few mins ago, and the driver had to wait while he finished off, as they werent meant to pick it up until tomorrow. might be here tomorrow or friday at this rate!

i know theres a few special items in there, and theres likely more as the photos i saw when i bought didnt lay everything out, just showed the more special and important items [boxed track etc] and there might have been more added since then.

More! More! More!
