underground ernie collection

Therealblack64YT

well I thought since I like these trains and I am collecting some I would make a threat about my journey into this side collection I have first battery operated the list:
Victoria

jubilee

BAKERLOO

face close up

circle

well I need to get Hammersmith and city later on to complete the main 6 of the battery operated range but then there's the internationals which will be interesting
now lets see the pullbacks that I own
circle and coach

city

Victoria and her coach

well Hammersmith is not a pullback engine as he is technically a coach as he is a free roller

I will get BAKERLOO and Victoria in the mail on Monday so that will be interesting to report here and after that I just need to find a pullback jubilee

now lets see the die cast ones that have sounds
jubilee

and the ernie 1

I will need to get the 5 other ones but I have very little interest in that as I want to finish the battery operated ones first
additional items
the set were I got jubilee,circle and BAKERLOO

other things include the cards for the diecast as for the packaging

so yeah that's my collection I was thinking of getting a Bachmann figure of ernie but that can wait so this collection is growing and it will not stop until I get most of the characters still a way to go

that_greentrain78

cool! :cool:

Super

Excellent T-Real. I have always wanted to see a collector of Underground Ernie motorized trains as I haven't found one yet. Looking forward to watching your collection grow. Are you also going to add the Sets to your collection?

Therealblack64YT

well I definitely will but that will be achieved at some point I do plan on some so yeah

Therealblack64YT

well well these came Tuesday due to bank holiday so I finally was able to have a closer look new addition to this collection: a pullback bakerloo I got these on an auction on eBay and I put £4.99 as the bid and it was the same one so I won here are Victoria and bakerloo

now lets have a closer look at bakerloo with his coach
one shot

second shot

and side shot the coach is almost as close to length to the engine but that could explain why circle has 4 doors instead of six on each side because if it did she would be almost as long as the coach

now lets look at the coach

and another shot of it

bakerloo is the same although his logo is a bit higher than the battery operated version

now lets look at some diferences between the pullback and battery operated one

face wise the pullback had a few inconsistencies mostly in the cheeks and paint

pullback has no hole or inside for the battery the battery operated runs by batteries the pullback is obvious

the battery operated one now seems complete

now lets look at Victoria

the middle is pullback (old)
the one on the left is the new pullback I got
and the one on the right is the battery operated one

the coaches will be seen later

and a shot of my 3 Victorias

now lets look at the coaches and some differences
colour differences

face paint difference ones dark the other is light

the new coach on the bottom has big pins on one side the old one on top does not

well I will definitely remove the ugly sticker mark left on the coaches and yeah I got them I am happy but Bakerloo's back at the coach is somewhat yellow I will deyellow in the future so its not ugly one more pullback to finish the main then battery operated Hammersmith and city

Super

I have never seen a Bakerloo with a Coach before. So I assume the motorized version never had a Coach released and you have added the coach from a Pullback Bakerloo? If so, it looks to be a perfect match.

Therealblack64YT

yes precisely pullbacks have the coaches but the battery ones don't they perfectly match

Therealblack64YT

well I purchased this lot with 6 engines and 1 coach and it was a good one it was a bid but it had best offer so I offered £9 and In total I paid £13 so I got it today
the items that were on the lot go as followed

jubilees coach

the back

and here it is with jubilee now he's complete

a new addition Moscow from Russia

the face the thing he has on the hat is the Russian star I imagine

on the bottom its different as it would have a long stick in the back to stop the engine and doesn't have the square that is on the other main six his button goes down when pressed with batteries and when off it goes back to the position it was before

now you can see that Moscow and circles bottom are different

a bakerloo that is somewhat corroded but makes a lot of noise

second bakerloo that makes somewhat noise but is still quite slow

circle who is slow and was at one point played with

Victoria who goes slow thanks to her I used some parts to make my Victoria a better runner

and a battery operated Hammersmith

his face is good as I replaced it with my pullback one better condition

overall I got a good selection of characters and I could use some of the repeats for parts now I just need a battery operated city after that I will be on the look out for Osaka and Paris who will be a little difficult but I will have the main 6. Before circle Victoria and bakerloo had coaches but now jubilee does he's one of my more favourite characters and I am happy he's complete with the others

Super

Well you certainly got a great price for such an assortment T-Real I have to say that I have not heard of or seen that Russian one before. Are you saying his name is Moscow?

Therealblack64YT

yes his name is Moscow

Therealblack64YT

bonjour I am back and this time I got a battery operated Paris I paid a bit for it but hey I don't see him that often £10.50 and a bit of shipping comes to £14.45 and here it is
the engine

the front

back

bottom the same as other international engines such as Moscow

and the side the doors have the French flag

he may look similar to Hammersmith and city that's because it is the same mold but with a new face overall he looks shiny and is an interesting model

Super

And another one I haven't seen before and he is beautiful. Nice grab T-Real 🙂

Therealblack64YT

well I guess I am lucky I got a pullback Moscow and a figure of millie for £7.50 and in total it was £11.45 an alright price for what I am getting his coach also has magnets that connect both ways and here it is
the front of both Moscow and his coach

the backs

the coach

Moscow

figure of millie (she's actually somewhat long) she was added as a bonus which is good

the battery operated Moscow with his coach

here is a better angle of it

overall now my hunt is becoming smaller and theoretically if I got 3 other coaches I could make a long train but its pointless as he only ever had one coach but I am happy he's complete as he is a good looking model design wise.

Therealblack64YT

well I can't believe I am gonna say it but my battery operated collection is now done I got all and the story is I got this lot of 5 things for £19 with no shipping was free and this is what I got
Hammersmith and city

shot

shot

they can connect as seen here

and a new addition Osaka (his button is not like Paris because its a jubilee chasis from the lot I removed the cables that were unnecessary to make it be like an international character chasis but the button is not a push button due to this not much of a problem as the original one he came with was a bakerloo)

other shot

back

front

another circle this might be turned to Sydney a character they didnt make in the battery range or any pieces of merchandise for that matter details will come later

and another bakerloo

and an extra Moscow coach who wants it? anyone?

the bakerloo motor that was in Osaka which I replaced

and all the international characters that halsall made

front

a shot of all the characters in the battery operated range every single one

up

low

other side

up again

and the main 6 coaches and all

up

and the main with the ernie 1 making a whole team

overall I now only need 2 pullback engines for the coaches but I can calmly say that the battery operated range is now complete every single one!

Super

Oh, Wow, fantastic collection T-Real and you got some great deals. Thats the first time seeing or hearing about Osaka I think for me. Wonderful collection and now we have a resident Underground Ernie expert. Thanks for sharing with us.

Therealblack64YT

also the engines are corroded so I don't know what they say they still look cool though

Super

I really like the character figures

Therealblack64YT

another purchase this time 3 Boxed pullback underground ernie characters all £20 total no shipping good and reasonable finally have a pullback Osaka I will open him up in a review I am thinking of doing until then

bakerloo I was thinking of opening him as I want the coach to replace my old coach

the back of the box

and all the boxed characters in their boxes

I have now 3 pullback Victoria coaches and 2 bakerloo's
not much happening but later when I am done with the die casts and pullbacks I will start to get some of the Bachmann items mostly the stations (mystery mansion station and that sports stadium station look neat)
so in short I will do a Osaka review and when I do I might put the link to it here

Super

Nice additions T-Real and quite the collection of Underground Ernie you have amassed.

Therealblack64YT

a half year went by and I finally got some more stuff and I finally got the coach that came with Paris and so much more

ernie millie and mr rails look in better condition and mr rails has his glasses

some of the engines

2 sets of instructions

track loads of it

and the bubblejet

Paris with his coach

and this Osaka will replace the old one as its in better shape

with his coach

comparison

this city is better shape than mine so this one will replace the old one

baker loo I have like almost 10 of these

jubilee

another Moscow I like this character so its a nice edition

circle

victorias coach

Victoria

most of these little accessories are from the Bachmann underground Ernie range except the terminal one sign.

the figures of the 3 human characters

all the characters with their coaches

and Moscow has been tripled

now we know why the main 6 have buttons bellow.

overall my battery operated collection is now 100% done.
