Well today seems to have been a very good day for train collecting, and with the weekend holiday coming the postal service really came through with an early delivery...YES!! YES!! YES!! 😃
We must first thank the talented Mr.Ripley, and also Super, both of whom we're instrumental in this piece's acquisition to our collection!!
This is thee rarest Plarail Thomas set in the world.
It is called The Diesel 10 Lady chase set and until just very recently it was not even known to exist... Produced in 2000, it took 16 years for the western world to discover it!! This box is the only known example of its packaging and is also the only source for the wiki image ...Complete with original Magic Railroad promotional movie flyer as well...it's just beautiful🙂
The box has been opened, but its components, track, special front hook characters, and engines are unused and still sealed!! It is BNw/openNMB!!
Still can't believe that we were just so lucky enough to pull off getting it...
Here are some pics:
