Trying to collect TWR Prototypes in Australia

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@VixoNotPro @TWRailway @ericpierre53 That is an eBay seller who is a long time collector. He was previously known as samcarjo35.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@skullzproducti1 @yahboosnubs If I remember correctly, apparently he doesn't know about it.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@TW_remakes Cool!

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine That's quite the train of troublesome brakevans! If it helps Thomas out at all, I don't mind taking some of that load for him. 😄

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine What would offer for this then?

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

Thanks to @twrcollectibles for trading this mystery train! It was a Thomas but the face is gone (the package was sent to someone else 1st, they must've stolen it, how dare they😠jk). The chassis is 94 but there's also only 4 wheels and they're black. I guess it's more unique now!

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@Ryansmash @FlyingScotFilms @TWR_Guy5 Yeah this is the second 1993 boxed one with a label I've seen, very hard to come across. Its rarer than the German boxed one, but is a close tie with this boxed 96/97 one I've seen about twice.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine @artheathen If you want to get technical, there are a couple more versions out there... https://t.co/J7V8u6gXuh

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@twrcollectibles @Thomasthesmall1 @TheStarSwitcher Yeah I believe in 1992-1993, some would have a whiter face and others more gray. There were also 2 types of round magnets used on the troublesome brakevan, one small as well as a larger one. You can check out the photos I've attached for reference.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine I reckon it's because they saw this listing and they were like "that's what I have" so they copied not only the title but listed it for the same price.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine You can use the German eBay, and although there might not be a high chance of finding one there at this moment, I have seen at least one listed there before.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@TWR_Guy5 @kenn6996 Yeah, I recall seeing that one, but it was a little hard to tell if it was in a green or blue box.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

Hi all, I just wanted to share some new information. I recently tweeted that there was only one known 1992 Donald in the green box. Well, I was informed by @kenn6996 that there is another one. Here's an image. Keep an eye out because I'll be tweeting about other rare TWR items!😀

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@domeless_engine Don't look this way!

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@Ryansmash Done. So what does yours comprise of?

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

Wow, just the perfect bed to keep me from having any nightmares...

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@TWR_Guy5 @Boston_Trains Yeah, pretty sure one person sold him all that.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@otwrc Well actually, just about all of those items are in great shape.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@otwrc I must say, their troublesome breakvans are in pretty good nick.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@JayDoesArt17 @otwrc Is this what you're looking for? (they're in the bottom right corner of the picture - kinda funny how I had to mention where they were located because of the size of this collection)

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

@ManiaWooden @twrcollectibles Thanks Matt! I am very fortunate that @twrcollectibles was generous enough to trade some of those pieces.

[Joseph @TWRJoseph]

A cardboard box magically appeared at my front door and had some wooden trains inside... I felt like this trade with @twrcollectibles was definitely in my favour, but I did have to say goodbye to a couple extremely rare items I had owned.
