Thanks Muddy

I didn't realize that Thumper was so small and delicate.

really an amazing little set and the bit about the damage induced by normal play makes a NIB all the more special!!!!!!!

Yes it's a 1999 release so BNIB is just crazy...
And considering his constuction( or lack there of) and micro size, and to be played with by a toddler???
Broken or lost in a week!! Smile

Thanks Sun Smile

Yes it's very unique looking and would fit in nicely on the mountain quarry side of our layout too, but it's a bit fragile for everyday use...maybe for special occasions or a layout parade with Thumper, Terrence, Trevor, and Caroline pulled along on thier flatcars!?!? Smile
