.  I still have the instruction sheet/poster!  (I was a
little obsessive as a kid.) I did a quick inventory and found I still
have all the parts but am missing:

1 x461a Black Plate 1 x 2 with Steam Engine Cylinder Angled
1 x515 Yellow Train Steam Drive Rod (tip is broken on one)

and the sticker sheet.

Any Toronto Trainers have extra rod/cylinders they might be willing to
part with?

Anyone know where I could get a replacement/scan of the sticker sheet?

I got this when I was 8.  It sat on my shelf and was dusted faithfully
by my mother every week for several years until I took it apart.  I was
hoping to rebuild this with my son, who happens to be 8 now as well!

Thanks,

Ahhh... that sounds really cute.... a sort of right of passage. (to build) :)

The only one I know that has a Thatch-Perk is Matthias Jetleb
(Jetleb@Netcom.ca). He brought one to Train2? (I think).

Here is the link to the only ones on Bricklink...Warning: these are VERY
Pricey.  (and only 2 arms available)

These lift-arms are pretty rare.  They were only on 4 sets, way back when...
and I couldn't find anyone willing to sell the stickers though.


Even without the lift-arm and the stickers, the set is ultra-rare and I
know I would be ultra-thrilled if I was getting it. :)
