However- bear with me. I happened to visit Smiffs and ASDA (Other retail outlets are available) yesterday and this seemed to be lurking everywhere. It is of course another partwork- very similar to one last year.
At the moment as well as the 3mm stuff- I am building a layout for No 1 grandson for Christmas. I have track, trucks and a couple of engines but no carriages-Result!
So for £3.99 a throw it seemed churlish not to relieve said shops of three of these. Then late last night I found some more in our local convenience store-One Stop.
Whilst not as good as some recent offerings they look good ,have metal wheels that are round and up to date couplings PLUS a length of straight track! The track seems to be a non standard length reminiscent of some ROCO offerings.
It really is worth seeking out these although does anyone want the blurb that goes with them?

| The parentage of this coach isn't easy to ascertain-it seems a bit of a hotchpotch although it could be argued that existing drawings were used. It certainly doesn't match current offerings. One could be churlish and complain that the underframe isn't opened out but for starters it ain't bad- Grandson will be pleased Christmas Day! |

| No running numbers are affixed making it easy to brand for your chosen region.Self coloured plastic is reasonable but the roof could do with a darker colour. |
