So I visited the giant school yard sale the other day, and for $40, I got about $400 - $500 worth of Thomas the tank engine "bits"

The box came with 11(!) Trains, lots of track, the bridge, the lift bridge ($50 on it's own) and many other special bits & pieces.

Each train retails for $20 - $35, so to get eleven trains for the $40 was a good deal alone. Not only that, but there are two 'Thomas' trains, two 'Lady' trains, two '
Petersam' trains, the hand car, and two different freights cars. There is one
steel car that
doesn't fit the set, but I can handle that, and the last car... I forget
who it is. But I could probably sell the doubles on E-bay and make back my $40 if I wanted to!

The funny thing is, I bought them for the Buddy.... but the one who enjoys them the most right now is a tie, between Daddy & LR!! So fun for the whole family I guess!!
The best part... the cheaper wooden track from
Ikea fits into it... so if I want more track, forget the expensive Thomas track...
Ikea, here I come!
Wow!! and to think...all I thought was that it looked good and everyone seemed to enjoy it! Great shopping!! you did wonderfully and I know for sure it's a BIG hit!!! gmp
