Where did you find that tool box with Marty's name already on it, that is a "gotta have" item... 
My son was given one of those train sets when he was young, but didn't play with it enough to expand, thank goodness. The cars may have wooden then too, If I recall ??? |
Yes the trains are still wooden too. My wife has been able to buy several sets on eBay rather than pay full price. Eventually we’ll move into actually O gauge train sets so I can spend more money on that lol. Pictured is one of the tracks Marty put together himself in the house.
And yes the tool box came up for sale about 2 hours away on fb marketplace. A friend at work sent it to me and I forwarded it to my wife. We made a day out of picking it up. Someone must’ve scrapped it and this guy sold it rather than scrap it. I think it was well worth the 50 bucks I paid. Someone must’ve really liked it to because it has a painting on the back of a guy riding an old Cat Bulldozer(I used to work for Cat and one of the first words Marty said is Ba for bulldozer). So I thought it was too cool to pass up.
I’m very lucky my mom has been quilting for a couple decades now. She’s not worried about making the top. More about getting all of the angles right and getting it glued down when needed lol.
