Recent FB purchase

Nice lot!

We had some road parts before and one motorised track only, so will make use of it for the next video. I was planning to make it Thomas theme based anyway so this will be a nice addition. Sadly we only have Thomas train working, and now James (the tender idea indeed looks much better, apart from the visible wires). We have another train but that will need a motor transplant at some point to get it running.

Ffarquhar indeed is a nice piece. We had the bottom part of it before from another bulk purchase, but this time we got both parts so will definitely get used as well.

The shed walls come without the roof (we have a few with the roof already) but being from Swindon, my instant thought was to replicate the railworks that we still have here (although converted into a shopping centre) as it would be a perfect fit. Just need to find a way to hold them upright together (will probably end up using lego for that )



As for the colour choice for the tender cover, I agree ideally it would be black. We have a rather large collection of Lego (sets and bulk) as well, but I'd rather not take away from the original pieces that are parts of sets we;re trying to build slowly. So in the bulk purchase, we're finding a small amount of non-genuine bricks. I ended up picking a few bricks from those to see how they will fit. Need to have a better look tomorrow to make it all black as it should be.

Thanks for pointing out what the other sets are. I'll probably end up getting rid of there. I see there's a marketplace on the forum so may just list them there cheap if there's any use for them.
