Playmobil Steaming Mary Roof and 2-4-0 Weight

[James Day]

Dear All,

I like running and restoring Playmobil trains and have recently fixed up a couple of derelict Steaming Marys that came my way.

As I am sure many of you already know there is a virtual Playmobil Trains breakers yard on E-bay, particularly in Germany but one part was eluding me - The Roof. There were simply none to be had!

I have therefore had a small batch professionally cast in pre-coloured black resin and they are pretty good. If anyone needs one, please get in touch. I am just looking to cover my costs. They fit pretty much as the originals do and need just a small amount of cleaning up on the two outer sides

I also had a few of the special weights cast for the 2-4-0 boiler/tender and have some spares. Same applies as above.

Now - Does anyone have a spare toolbox cover for a Steaming Mary?

Best wishes,
James

I'm restoring a Steaming Mary tender and that has the toolbox lid missing. If you decide to have some of those made, I'll take one off your hands! (I plan to run the tender after repair and repainting with the 0-4-0 tank, slightly modified.)

Hello,

Yes, I have thought about it!

It may well be the only way.....

We will see
