inside

overall I had a nice birthday and I hope you people have a good day

Happy Birthday T-Real

I went back to the carboot sale and bought the following
ertl thumper £1

back

compared to the take along one

Terrence ertl and thumper

changed the treads as I like the darker ones

another trackmaster Stanley £1.50 originally £2 but seller didn't want to get change so I only paid £1.50


back

compared to my other one (might customise this one)

ertl bill and ben 50p each but I bought together so £1

side

and another angle

and last but not least believe it or not Tomy Oliver got it for £1 he was in a terrible shape but I fixed that
side

side

back no coupling hook

and the front 

one axel missing 

inside is dusty and has some broken wheels

the wheel base had this tangled 

got a metal axel and modified it to be like the one that was there before I had to make it thinner and cut to size it worked

I put a bit of plastic here to hold the motor (not pictured) I also added a coupling hook and place to put it as it didn't have that again not pictured but did do

buffers were cracked so some modelling clay and sanding later got to be flat 

the motor and body

was able to paint the black dot on his face to be somewhat perfect

painted buffer beam 

and some final touches later

side 

other side

back now has a coupling

compared to thumper

I argue that this was a good purchase as I paid way less than I would have done and also due to the restoration I did as I felt it could go back to its glory days again

You sure have a lot of luck at the car boot sales in your area T-Real 👍

so I went to eBay and saw a bid for a tomy toad £2.75 I bid and I got it for £6.10 not bad for a tomy piece of rolling stock

toad with Oliver

connected 

Oliver view

and the back 

these two characters are finally reunited again as they should and he can now be pulled by his best friend Oliver I like this as for 7 years I was wanting to get him but now it was the right time and its all better. now that they are reunited I wonder what I will do with these two

got ertl sir Topham hatts car for £1.50 on eBay and paid in total £6.50 here it is 

compared to the other one I owned since 2020 its beaten up so that's why I wanted to buy a better conditioned one 

and the backs

the side

with a my custom figurine 

and compared to the deagostini one that I used I will now use the ertl one as I think It looks better  

another thing is the vehicle is repainted from their dick tracy line its tracy's vehicle which is black and has dick tracy on the back 

even thought the model is a repaint of a pre existing vehicle I like it as it looks like he would drive something of this nature the car in question is a 1936 Ford Coupe

Love that make and model car.

I got fisher price Arry for £18.99 and in total around £22 here it is

apart

the inside of the shell says Arry/bert even though the bottom of the board says arry in white letters 

another angle

and compared to splatter

I definitely want Bert now that I got Arry but I was considering use werhouses but the prices are quite high so if anyone wanna trade a fp Bert or hit toy let me know I got an item or 2 I could trade in return

I got Donald for £9 originally £12 but bargained down not bad for £12.35

front 

I had a Donald that was in terrible condition for 2 years and I am gonna replace that now all I will need is Douglas if anyone has one let me know but for now this will do

He looks to be in great condition T-Real 👍
