Kind of makes me wish now that I hadnt cut up my model to take off the tender. Maybe Yes thats it. Ill go find it and put the model back together again although Ill do it like Leo did! 5 Stars mate and a well done entry! =)

@ThompsonLine Thank you very much :)

This is a stunning entry, I really enjoy seeing these items from the past. Am I correct in saying Bluebell is the other model without a face?

How much is this baby worth?

[TheHenryCatman]

@leokimvideo Thanks Leo :) Yes you are correct, but I do not have Bluebell unfortunately.

I have no idea to be honest, I have had this model all my life, and have many more like it, but have no valued my collection. I too like in your example have that TOMY workshed, and retro Thomas and Percy models, I can send pictures if you would like :)

@TheHenryCatman

Possibly our well oiled Thomas community can put a rough price on this item. Would you believe I have 3 mint in box Bluebell ERTL's, I was always curious about the engine which was never given a ID like all the other characters. To be honest no one has really ever explained why these engines were faceless.

I really have a huge collection of Thomas stuff these days, all from getting to know Thomas tubers.

@leokimvideo Perhaps, would be interesting to know. Wow, I'm guessing they won't be blown up haha. No, well in the railway series, Flying Scotsman had a face, but not City of Truro, I know in real life she hasn't got a face haha. I noticed that the rolling stock you had were fitted with magnet couplings, like almost all of my collection, which you don't see anymore
