sides 

the van (added coupling)

James 

my james on the left and the new one on the right the problem was the switch was fragile and didn't go well barely touched the metal that make it go so I changed the switch and it works.

both made in the same year but I got them at different times he now works may use for a custom 

the rc Thomas

Thomas and his remote.

I will use the van of the broken one for a custom van.

I got a tomy Emily for £12 good deal if you ask me with the coach

Emily 

again

the coach

the side

the coal and the code it was likely made in 2009 if I am correct 

the tomy Emily with my 2021 Emily it has a fisher price tender 

the top view 

the one I got is better in condition and in overall shape. I actually painted the buffers on the fisher price tender bronce.

tomy chocolate crunch Percy I got £8 in total £11 it was untested but the million dollar question is does it work? yes it does.

here he is 

oh my

hello

Hit:

overall for the price I paid it was a good deal as I saw some for +£20. He is one of those variants that's stupidly expensive as it was one of the last items tomy motor road and rail released before being discontinued in 2008. the inside there's a code that says L08V meaning it was made some time in 08. also the shell and the smoke box are all molded brown.
terrible conditioned face which can happen be cautious of the listings.

I went outside (shocker) and I got bruno (oh no misterno I am being aeg washed aah) it was £4.99

pack

back of it

and bruno is here he is mall but it will work for now that is.

and the other side

back

the bottom

and I also took reference pictures (cataloging pictures) of bruno and I might do most of my collection and have them somewhere.

I always thought the Chocolate Percy released by Tomy is the best looking one.

One thing that I found interesting is that the tomy version is the only one out of the three to be made from brown not green plastic

Thats interesting DDO...I didn't know that

after multiple days I come again and this time I went to B&M a discount store in the UK were they sell stuff for cheap and they had Pixar cars stuff that smyths didn't have and cheaper too at £3.99  here is a shelf with them even more at the back

close 

other side 

and the middle not the best pictures but it works 

and these are the 3 I got in the store these characters being from the new 8 episode series 'cars on the road' I have watched all 8 episodes and thought it was meh  

here's a car 3 character I liked on the peg 'randy lawson' looks nice

and overall I will unbox them obviously but I want to do some review of them and overall I paid for the 3 cars £11.97 which is not bad as in smyths its £6.99 and I got randy yesterday so I didn't count him in and he was £3.99 in smyths the same character £6.99 and on eBay over £10. in eBay they are selling these characters for over £15 so beware. I always look for the best deals and the best prices.

You never cease to amaze me T-Real in introducing me to many new characters in the Cars world. My knowledge is pretty much tied to the original movie and to a lesser extent, the second. Since you are a big Cars collector and a fan of the Thomas Plarails, have you tried to acquire one of these

I did know about that item looks interesting might get it some day. I would like to make a custom of the one from cars 1 'trev diesel'
