I see all the track is accounted for I know you said you didnt know if all the pink track would be present.
How does the carousel work? and what was the condition of the engine?
close ups when you wake up?

yes, all the track is accounted for it. if it wasnt, i would have just used the multi colored bits from the pull back range.
the carousel is engine powered, with a stop track built in. the little seats move up and down as it rotates. it seems a bit jerky now and then, but that might have been the batteries too.
the engine is in good shape, had a few marks which came off. has a little bit of paint rubbing to the bow, corner of the cab and the bottom front. the pink band on the front appears to be a little yellowed with age, but not majorly. it runs like new... had fluff literally caked behind the wheels, but inside was almost spotless.

the engine. you can see the paint rubs.

WOW for its age it is in wonderful shape! This was released in 2000 in conjuncture with the Winnie the Pooh Set, The Doraemon Set I have and a very nice Pokemon Set. Each came with an amusement piece I always thought it would be so neat to have a layout with all the Ferris Wheels and such!
are the dolls from this set squishy or hard?

As far as this purchase is concerned, well played... my friend... well played!

thanks, geri and T-R-Y. really pleased with it. good info, geri. i have the pooh set and a doraemon, but it came with a station, no amusement ride. the figures are squishy. i found a bag at a second hand shop yesterday with a few hello kitty toys in, so grabbed in and found one of the rabbit. she looks good in the seat, but is too tall for the tunnel, lol.
