bonjour I am back and this time I got a battery operated Paris I paid a bit for it but hey I don't see him that often £10.50 and a bit of shipping comes to £14.45 and here it is
the engine
the front
back
bottom the same as other international engines such as Moscow
and the side the doors have the French flag
he may look similar to Hammersmith and city that's because it is the same mold but with a new face overall he looks shiny and is an interesting model
And another one I haven't seen before and he is beautiful. Nice grab T-Real
well I guess I am lucky I got a pullback Moscow and a figure of millie for £7.50 and in total it was £11.45 an alright price for what I am getting his coach also has magnets that connect both ways and here it is
the front of both Moscow and his coach
the backs
the coach
Moscow
figure of millie (she's actually somewhat long) she was added as a bonus which is good
the battery operated Moscow with his coach
here is a better angle of it
overall now my hunt is becoming smaller and theoretically if I got 3 other coaches I could make a long train but its pointless as he only ever had one coach but I am happy he's complete as he is a good looking model design wise.
well I can't believe I am gonna say it but my battery operated collection is now done I got all and the story is I got this lot of 5 things for £19 with no shipping was free and this is what I got
Hammersmith and city
shot
shot
they can connect as seen here
and a new addition Osaka (his button is not like Paris because its a jubilee chasis from the lot I removed the cables that were unnecessary to make it be like an international character chasis but the button is not a push button due to this not much of a problem as the original one he came with was a bakerloo)
other shot
back
front
another circle this might be turned to Sydney a character they didnt make in the battery range or any pieces of merchandise for that matter details will come later
and another bakerloo
and an extra Moscow coach who wants it? anyone?
the bakerloo motor that was in Osaka which I replaced
and all the international characters that halsall made
front
a shot of all the characters in the battery operated range every single one
up
low
other side
up again
and the main 6 coaches and all
up
low
and the main with the ernie 1 making a whole team
overall I now only need 2 pullback engines for the coaches but I can calmly say that the battery operated range is now complete every single one!
Oh, Wow, fantastic collection T-Real and you got some great deals. Thats the first time seeing or hearing about Osaka I think for me. Wonderful collection and now we have a resident Underground Ernie expert. Thanks for sharing with us.
I got some more things and this time the figures and some die cast engines for £10 total £13.35
here is Millie ernie and mr rails
the back (no screw millie is the one I had)

barloo and jubilee comparison

comparison in battery and die cast with Ernie figure
and mr rails got glasses by using a bit of soldering wire and super glue on the side looks good
also the engines are corroded so I don't know what they say they still look cool though
I really like the character figures
another purchase this time 3 Boxed pullback underground ernie characters all £20 total no shipping good and reasonable finally have a pullback Osaka I will open him up in a review I am thinking of doing until then
osaka close

back of the box (a description of the episode 25 techno trouble)
the engine in box and my battery Osaka compared
Victoria's box
back
bakerloo I was thinking of opening him as I want the coach to replace my old coach
the back of the box
and all the boxed characters in their boxes
I have now 3 pullback Victoria coaches and 2 bakerloo's
not much happening but later when I am done with the die casts and pullbacks I will start to get some of the Bachmann items mostly the stations (mystery mansion station and that sports stadium station look neat)
so in short I will do a Osaka review and when I do I might put the link to it here
Nice additions T-Real and quite the collection of Underground Ernie you have amassed.
a half year went by and I finally got some more stuff and I finally got the coach that came with Paris and so much more
ernie millie and mr rails look in better condition and mr rails has his glasses
some of the engines
2 sets of instructions
track loads of it
and the bubblejet
Paris with his coach
and this Osaka will replace the old one as its in better shape
with his coach
comparison
this city is better shape than mine so this one will replace the old one
baker loo I have like almost 10 of these
jubilee
another Moscow I like this character so its a nice edition
circle
victorias coach
Victoria
most of these little accessories are from the Bachmann underground Ernie range except the terminal one sign.
the figures of the 3 human characters
all the characters with their coaches
and Moscow has been tripled
now we know why the main 6 have buttons bellow.
overall my battery operated collection is now 100% done.
