What a collection!  :clap:  It is a daunting task ahead of you Ras.  Will be interesting to follow your progress.   

I really like the yellow passenger ones :love:
Me too and the caboose as well.  I've never seen so many!

The big problem with retiring is that you seem to have less time for Playmobil than when you were working!
I agree with you on that Gordon.  :lol:

If you run them around the track fast enough that would knock the dust off right? Worth a try :D You could try running them outside in the rain, but that might not work so well with the powered track

Oh hey I know, you must have 5 or 6 of the carwash set (you seem to have 5 or 6 of everything). You could make a custom train wash :D

Of course I ran off to YouTube and there are prototype ones made by a German (naturally) company

Yes, as you can see I too choose play rather than clean  :lol:

better not retire so I can keep the play time up  8}

Tim, Maybe the carwash could be customised for a train washer, interesting idea  ;)

nunney, the real fun and neatness is in the play time  :P
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I actually thought they were fit for "outdoor" play as well...
