The Canadian Pacific passenger set from the controversial "ebay" post from a few weeks ago has arrived after being shipped last Monday (Dec 8) it finally got here today Tuesday (Dec 15).
Here is a picture....

The set is nearly perfect except for the F9s cello window being ripped. The passenger car boxes are perfect and surprisingly the cello is still glued tight in the boxes.
Before I put it away I tried to run it and I took this video...

| Great vid! A vintage Tyco, chasing its tail, at high speed, on a small oval track. All's right with the world. They don't belong in display cases, they need to run. I love it. Enjoy! -Todd

I think that is a great set/find also. Make sure you run them for your enjoyment not the next guy/girl that gets it when you are gone...

Ps. I thought the same way, when (before kids) I had a 1970 Corvette 454. I bought it, I am going to enjoy it!

Very nice set, BT. The CP had a very handsome scheme back then, but I draw the line at sexy...
