Ran into a sweet deal today at the thrift Shop. Picked up a lot of Thomas stuff. I got a small stuffed Thomas, a large whistle from 1995, a big Thomas with t...

Nice buys Barak. I have noticed that a lot of your pictures have been sideways and now these are upside down. I would be a lot nicer if you can rotate them so they are easy to look at.

Sorry. Working mostly on my phone and it just comes out that way.

Fixed it now I hope. 🙂

Have to shave off a bit from the bottom of the new trains to make them work on our track. Here is a link to video of the train straight from the box.

I hope the links work.

The thrift shop king has done it again. Scored big today at a church consignment sale and only spent $23.00. I was hoping someone might be able to give me some information about the cards I found today.

nice work!!

the cards came with wooden and take along characters, though im not sure on the red ones in the last pic. might be part of a game like snap etc?

BaraktheViking

Thanks. There are only 4 of the red ones plus another pack of the same 4 in an unopened package.

I did however pass up the wooden trains I found today. They wanted $46.00 for 11 trains. I think I an do better than that. 🙂<img src="/assets/files/placeholder.png" alt="(missing)">

Been away for a bit but was out today and found this guy looking for a home. [attachment=955]
We grabbed him up, brought him home, fixed his coupler and introduced him to the family.[attachment=956]
His coupler was broken but was an easy fix with some free vinyl siding samples from my local hardware store.[attachment=957]<img src="/assets/files/placeholder.png" alt="(missing)"><img src="/assets/files/placeholder.png" alt="(missing)"><img src="/assets/files/placeholder.png" alt="(missing)">

Super

Now thats using the old noodle. 🙂
Did they really write the price right on the toy with marker?

BaraktheViking

Yes they did. I hope it will come off with some elbow grease and a Mr clean magic eraser.

Super

Its a coincidence as I just removed some markings on a troublesome truck but what I did was use rubbing alcohol with a magic eraser and it came off easy with very little effort. Glad those people don't sell real cars, it would be hard to remove the price from the hood.
