Yes Super, that’s the video I was thinking of! I vaguely recall Taskforce2008 explaining somewhere that the container flatbeds are partially scratchbuilt. IIRC, the containers and the little switchers are cut and fold card stock printouts that he designed and used to have linked on his long gone blog.

I also had a vague memory of something more about them than just the video but I can't find it now but then again I some times lose my mind too Blush

Here's a funny Boulder replacement I saw in a listing for the recent Plarail Thomas set that has Boulder in it
I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.

The way the Listing is worded... it sounds like its a James with a Henry face. By the looks of the picture, its not a rare item but someone removed the Henry face and replaced it with a James. You can see a broken black plastic part over his forehead. I wouldn't think this was a rare factory defect at all.

Some people were discussing that Henry - the Henry is Tomy and has its Tomy box, but the face comes from a Fisher Price James, so it's a custom, not from the factory
