furthur to this thread: https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?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:
