Oh yeah! Definitely some very interesting items from all sorts of different time periods, which you should be quite proud of and feel lucky to own (including the ones you merely mentioned).
The dark brown S.C. Ruffey is NOT wrong at all. It was based on his rebuild after Oliver pulled him apart in the TV series:
If you didn't know, the Breakdown Train was brought back in The Adventure Begins (2015), except the cranes are now sentient and have names (Jerome and Judy). The Tomica World trains look fairly interesting as well, and I actually know what that first one you showed was. It's an 883 series used by a Japanese limited express train service called Sonic. Even though it postdates the SEGA franchise and the 883 series looks like the Hedgehog, the connection is purely coincidental). From what I've heard, the Eurostar train is up there with the F Unit and the Amtrak one in terms of value or rarity. Again, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info. Never noticed the S.C.Rufffey rebuild, weird that. Either that or I've forgot, I need to revisit the older series to be honest, as I do consider them the best. I do know about Jerome and Judy but I think they're a slightly different design... plus they have faces. I don't know whether they'd still be used in modern times, mind you Rocky can't be everywhere at once!
Interesting to hear about the rarity of the normal trains. I do like the Eurostar.
