That Donald for that price was a great deal. I think Douglas is going to be very hard to find, personally I consider him much rarer than oliver. However he does turn up from time to time on eBay, so with some patients you may be able to get him.

If you are buying him off eBay, you need to be careful when buying the trackmaster version as the fakes are very similar. The best way to tell them apart is if the coal in the tender is raised at the back or the tender axels are metal, than it's fake.

Nice haul. I had a Percy like that Bill when i was younger - they are great models but wheels are not so good for rolling. Also I found a Tugs documentary on youtube recently! I completely forgot I used to watch the show and didn't realise it had links to Thomas. I was looking on ebay & those models are being listed for a lot but I didn't check sold prices.

So many items for a bargain. I have to say that it's a but annoying that the smoke box door is missing on the hornby 0-4-0 .I am curious to see if it runs . Maybe you could try to get some more oo guage engines . Also isn't that Ben also oo guage, I believe that it fits on oo guage tracks, however I'm not sure

well these type of clockwork Thomas models don't fit HO track as the wheels are rounded and look very different but an older clock work Thomas I saw can go on HO track. green 0-4-0 does work and seems to have no problems I have a load of HO track somewhere so I might try that as for HO  I don't find it often but when I do and its at a good price I might pick it up. I got a few pieces of rolling stock that came from a starter set

in the bottom it says what type of car it is 
[Image: 20220717-155407.jpg]
the rubber band was on the bottom of it and I think it was from a pack or something as I remember seeing these type of clear bands on my trackmaster porter when I got it new 
[Image: 20220717-114000.jpg]
the car its based on is a 1974 AMC Gremlin which is notorious for having the fill up tank at the back and this would result in most cases being the oil would eject out when going back and also due to many flaws in the design so that's why it was a failure
