Are you talking about the engine?

I am not sure on which he is referring to.

Quick update on these. For the TnA engines these all tested and worked fine. Henry does need a new drive gear but that should be a fairly easy fix:


These in the other hand need some work. Some have a few bad terminals and some have some wire issues it looks like. Should be repairable though:


TnA James and box. The engine is in almost mint condition. Has a little running wear on the cab roof but still probably the cleanest I have seen. The box is rough but still a welcomed find to the collection;



And the TnA talking set with Caroline. Box is again a bit rough but the track and building are nice:

Remember about the gear links from amazon I've sent you? Those are much quieter when swapped. And every new gear means more silence

Yes

Ok.. I know I said this was the last one, but these were ones that I had ordered and it was too late to add to my other shipment so had to end up getting a few more things to make shipping worth it. I will say this shipping bill I was much more pleased with but the fees added up since there were so many wins. I will have one more lot with 5 of the red promo cars but that is all for sure....

Very cool, tna engines are becoming more popular on Jauce now as well but I haven't seen a tna Toby for some time

Thanks. Yeah I have not seen Toby in awhile. He and D10 seem to show up less than Gordon and Henry it seems.

Something else I just realized is that the anniversary Thomas is unused. The box had been opened but it is still sealed in the plastic and in mint condition. I think I paid 2100¥ for this one so a great deal in my mind.

Do you know for sure that those promotional billboard wagons are the only ones released or might there be otheres or maybe more yet to be released?

I was only going off the image from Jdog recently that had the three on there. The could release more possibly though. It would have been nice to have more of the newer characters from The Great Tace on them though.

The reason I ask is that this picture shows different billboards on the blue and yellow wagons or is there different images on both side.

Yeah different images on both sides.

The mystery is solved, thanks Ripley
