RTM is for Really Tat Miniatures

This is so bad I'm posting it now so I can hopefully bury it with something better tomorrow morning! This is not even from the 'We buy this so you don't have to' department, as A) it must be vintage now, it's 12-years if not 20 in some kind of storage/hidden from everyday view and B) I really can't remember how or why it came into the collection, but it's here and I do say [hopefully] from time-to-time "Everything will appear here in the end", so it has to have a place!

Totally generic, the sort of thing you find in large open-air markets from dodgy stall-holder geezers who say they'll be here again next week and are never seen again and who purchase their stock from equally dodgy wholesale geezers in old railway arches!

It doesn't get any better when you get it out of the box and set it up! But . . . it IS a military train and you don't see them every day huh? AND . . . It doesn't get any worse when you get it out of the box and set it up! From the technicolour track I'm guessing a civilian version of the set exists - batteries are long dead!

As I got this image up just now to work the blurb I had a de ja vue that someone will send me similar shots of their better one (more accessories?) bought recently! Weird? No - I'm not telling you who, 'cos if it happens that will be too spooky!

All three loads are screwed to the flat-cars (Force Chariots!) and gauge is best described as O-to-G! If you're five and it's a wet weekend this might be fun . . . with some dinosaurs, Kinder Egg superheroes and a pencil-top Panda Bear!

  1. A gem of Totally joyous tat! The 'camouflaged' multicolour railway track going nowhere fast is the most wonderfully weird bit.

    What few pence would it cost to put some more straight track in and add play value?

  2. I love the fact that the box says there are "Many Configurations" while showing that there are just two.
