Must Be Wednesday Again - Today's Delivery :)

Ok, now I don't know if I've got a lazy postie, but the last few weeks I get nothing on a monday/tuesday, then wednesday its like a birthday!

Anyway, enough of my pondering and onto the haul

First some second user items from fleabay

Suspension bridge in used but mint condition and boxed;


Then Molly, again mint, boxed;


And a James, again pretty much mint, apart from a faded sticker on the tender, also boxed;


And last but not least a loose, but good condition 'Sir Handel', pre-revolutions;


Now onto the fun things, firstly I finally got me Hiro, new from Japan, but what's more not the standard one but the 'Aquarium' set which includes three wagons;



Next up is a suburban train which features 'sound functions';


And finally some Advance goodies, another loco (Type 200 Bullet) in a rather fetching white/green livery and the Advance remote control conversion kit;

I want that 200 Series Shinkansen!

You will have a lot of fun with that Remote Control set because I know I did.

That is a particularly cool looking train for sure, looks way better in the flesh than it did in the pictures when I ordered it, there is also support for the couplers so maybe I'll have to get another and have a double length model

[Super]

Nigels...you got it bad, real bad. You do know there is no cure just more buying.

Yup, sure have, although I think having the delay in delivery from Japan makes things worse as in the time I'm waiting I see something else and well you know as you say it just goes on and on lol!

But there again as my sig says, I been a collector all my life this is just the latest addition to my interests

Out of interest is there any source for replacement stickers to renovate pre-used locomotives? If not there's surely an opening there for an enterprising individual

Well, if someone could print it off on sticker type paper, and have them the proper size for the loco, they probably could do something for you, but I'm no such genius. I'm just lucky I haven't had this issue much yet. (Only happened on two locos, one got modded to a heavy extent and the other is the first engine I ever got)

Yeah, I been thinking about that, designing them wouldn't be a major issue, getting the the absolute correct size will be more difficult. Maybe when I get some spare time I'll have a go
