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!
About Me
- Hugh Walter
- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

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!

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