cheapest wooden train set?

[dot1]

We want to get our train obsessed 2 year old a wooden train set for his third birthday in December - the kind you can keep adding bits to - like Brio, I think. Does anyone know where we can get one at a good price?

Mez - have emailed you again from a different a/c.

Hoxtonchick - I'll try to weigh them tonight and a price including postage and paypal for you.

hoxtonchick - I've just weighed them and I'm afraid postage on 3 videos will cost £3.10, so with Paypal too it would have to be £6.94. Is that too much?

That's fine LunarSea, sounds like a small sum for not having to trawl through charity shops. And I've already told ds they're coming... Do you want to e-mail me on hoxtonchickAThotmail.com & I'll give you my address. Also, can I be really cheeky & ask you to send them in a couple of weeks as we're going away & our post is really unreliable & I'd rather be around. I'll pay you immediately.

lunarsea, my payment is sitting here! i will post it, just top lety you know i havent forgot

Oh, poo, if you end up with any engines left over, Lunarsea, I'd be very interested, too.

very quick antipodean style lurk

hi suzy! you in oz now?

Hi Fio2, yes we are here now and loving it!
How is your move going?

well we are in kent now, but things are not good, as you may know !

glad you are loving it. It must have been very stressful!

oh sorry to hear that Fio2, I am somewhat behind the times here as we only have dialup and the moment, getting broadband nextweek, are you OK?

sort of! yes and no, dh is working in dorset now, wine helps!

sort of! yes and no, dh is working in dorset now, wine helps!

glad things are working out for you though

have a feeling this message is duplicated because ds kept messing with the keyboard!

OMG suzy - you are THERE!!! Congratulations!!!

lunarsea, superquick service a++++ !
they arrived today, one happy little boy.
Thanks.

zebra - it's not strictly speaking an engine, but I do have Cranky the Crane, which I'd forgotten about as I was only looking through the engines. Would that be of any interest to you?

LunarSea,

many thanks. Percy, Oliver, George and Bertie arrived on time yesterday, much to DD's delight.

(Better scheduling on Sodor than Network Rail obviously!! )

Hi Lunarsea - if Zebra's not interested, could I put in a bid for Cranky? How much do you want for him?

Azure - will let you know either way when I hear back from zebra.

Azure - can you contact me about Cranky on gill AT removethisbit.gmx.co.uk (if that makes sense).

Is there anything left now or have you sold it all?

I still have more videos collision, and possibly some Thomas books when my clearout gets as far as the bookcases, but if Azure wants Cranky I'll be out of surplus wooden Thomas railway things.

It's not impossible that there might be some more later though, as a couple of times I've bought collections of Thomas engines to expand ds's selection, and inevitably there are a few duplicates. If that happens I'll offer them here, and you and zebra can have first choice.

Lunarsea - unfortunately, DH has gone out this lunchtime and bought a brand new Cranky for DS's birthday tomorrow. Thanks all the same for the offer.

Any other takers for Cranky - or he's off to Ebay!
