first big lot in a while...

furthur to this thread: https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showth...p?tid=2470 i had forgotten about that thread until making this one, so neglected to match up engines with correct rolling stock.

i finally managed to organise to have the bulk lot sent up. been a bit chaotic here the last few months, and other things kept coming up.

so, my desk is covered in trains again, as i work to de-fluff their motors as best i can. a couple have proven to be almost mint inside, and one doesnt appear to have held a battery, as the terminal was still bent outwards. so far, i have managed to coax them back into life, but have a couple still to check.





i have always loved this color scheme




worked out how to open it eventually, but it has broken wire inside the tender by the speaker box. will investigate furthur later on.




i like the decal of the person on this one. it appeals for some reason. this one also has a huge gold-colored weight inside the engine, heavy enough that the chassis wont sit flat unless the cover is on it. dont recall seeing anything like it before.










i already have these next two, but included the pics anyway:

Very nice score Sun.

some nice suff there.

[Super]

Don't ya just love those large bulk purchase boxes arriving where with every reach into the box a new treasure is lifted out? Great collection Sun.

Nice set of rolling stock there Sun, I like some of the commuter type trains they are often under-rated I think as they are usually pretty good runners too

That EF15 seems like it has seen quite a bit, keep it safe.

yes, that one definately seems like its the oldest. has no date underneath. i quite like it, looks wise. tricky to photograph though, due to the dark color.

It looks like this EF15 first appeared in the 2002-03 Plarail catalog courtesy of Ripley's fine Catalog Collection and Plarnold for providing that one to him.

not as old as i was thinking then. thanks, super
