    I remember finding a Trackmaster Douglas at a Salvation Army. I knew I had to get it and I got it! I still have it today! The only problem was that there was no front coupling on his tender but I was still glad I got him.

      THAT IS AWESOME!! I've personally been looking all around charity shops for stuff and my biggest score was a MR&R boxed cranky at the docks set lol, back to douglas, You can unscrew the tender, pop on a coupling from another tender/truck and screw it back on

    This is what made me be even more proud to be born and live in the UK, Douglas (way back in 2006) was very easy to find. My mum took me to my local toy shop and said I can buy 2 Tomy models with my b/day money. So originally I was going to get Spencer and Salty, I saw them and before I grabbed them I looked to the right next to Salty, there was DOUGLAS. So I chose not to get Spencer and Salty, instead I bought Douglas along with Donald (At last I had both Scottish engines and I still have the very Donald & Douglas to this day).

  • @joshuaW5621
    @joshuaW5621 Рік тому +8

    It’s funny how when Plarail does twin characters, they sell one of them individually but make the other exclusive to a playset, making them much more expensive. What’s ridiculous is the fact they did Splatter and Dodge together with a coach to connect both of them together while the others are complete and utter scams.
    Thankfully we got Douglas and Bill in 2006.
