Cleaning and sorting trains
« on: February 13, 2013, 15:14:42 »
Well with all the train shows and all I decided to dig out our train collection. I pulled out the tubs that had some engines and wagons and started to sort things out. I am wanting to go through our entire train collection and order the missing parts. So far I dug out some of the  trains that we have not been using very much and will move into all the rest.



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:

So I had a broken down machine at work today and out of frustration I sorted out more trains. I feel a lot better now

I have been wanting to do this for many years and would like to buy missing parts when I find the time to  sorting out all that is missing.









I see now the pictures are bad. I tried to use my sons apple and now I will go get my camera when the sun is not directly into the lens.

That's an amazing quantity and range of locos and rolling stock, Ras.  You could sell some off, not all, and retire on the proceeds!

The big problem with retiring is that you seem to have less time for Playmobil than when you were working!
