    The van is probably for parcels. In the days of the Travelling Post Office the mail was put in small leather pouches to be collected by the line side apparatus. The bigger parcels probably went into the van to be dropped off at stations when the train actually stopped.

      Ouch 🤕. It’s a great set though and will become a collectors item quick enough. I have 2 of these now, the one I reviewed here and a sealed unopened one.
      Let me know what you think of it ☺️

      😂 theoretically it is but let’s be honest mostly it’s bought by adults and slapped in a collection here in 2019

      The good thing is there are so many great companies to buy from whether it’s new or second hand
      I’ve had awful experiences buying on eBay and while I’m sure there’s lots of honest people on there I don’t buy much on eBay now as I’ve been stung a lot

    Wish I'd gotten myself one of these when it was feasible.
    Bachmann Percy's face sucks because it's an off-model amateur recreation of his Gullane stock art face, which itself is slightly off-model compared to the show. If Britt Allcroft was still in charge at the time (instead of relegated to a figurehead), she probably would have made them re-do it instead of saying "Eh, good enough." He has nice gearing and valve gear, though.
    The ventilated van is included as a parcels van. Pity it's not the Tri-Ang sliding door van tooling, but I guess you can't have everything.

      I’ve sold off a few horny Thomas items. Put dart on for a low starting bid and his bidding went stupid money 💰
