I would like to know what these are exactly. Over the years I have collected things secondhand and I already have the thomas wooden railway roads (too much of it as it is) and im letting go of these from the collection as a result. I got these recently as part of a big train collection that included these. It was just a big box full of stuff (so I had no idea these were included with the trains) and a pickup adress. The previous owner had no info on them either.

Im hoping to sell these soon as I just dont have room for them and want someone else to enjoy them rather than they rot in storage unloved and unused.... but cannot find much info on them let alone their value. I figured you all would know. Thank you for any leads you have for me, so far all I found was 1 seller on a random website that pay walled the selling value and mentioning it was brio compatable.

Its hard to show everything with the quick clip, but here is what I have done so far. Started on a bridge, then made it look natural and pretty so one would want to explore around all the levels of land. Then I chipped away at the crystal covered buildings to "find them" then changed the blocks to mske them pretty and dig out the insides. Latter ill finish them and do the interiors. Pokemon visit now and play in there around me, its fun. For the longest time it was gyarados in the area all alone.

This is a rare discontinued model that has an internal divider and a screened in portch area. 11.5x13 size, so a little wider than a family camper.

I finally got around to fix the door to the screen porch section. The original door had the same small zippers they use for the windows which normally isnt an issue, but this particular inner divider was pulling on it putting way too much tension on it and after years of use both zippers failed spectacularly. I went over to springbar and they were super helpful in helping me get new larger 10c zippers so I could upgrade the zipper to the usual 10c YKK door zipper tape to help keep this issue from happening again like this.

Decided to post this to share just how neat these are.

Model is 1218 photos to show what ot looks like.

While not perfect, its better than a + geyser. Hope this helps.

I wanted my town to feel like a town and a trading market so I did both along the edges. Feels alot more lively and now my trading pokemon are all in the same area.

Not done, just getting serious about decorating after terraforming for forever. Also still missing headbutt fossils head.... so I'll do that one when rng decides to bless me with it. I did shift the stairs so I had deadspace in the header to put the despot fossil volcano display in and moved the stairs to the end and around the crystal hot springs display so it could be viewed from both sides and broke down the wall between. Also I wanted arodactyl to look like its fossil was flying and make the banners and fossil placement look centered by making the window 1 block bigger.

Im curious how others did their exhibits. I know there is more space in the lab, but want to restore mine, So I did my best upstairs instead.

before and after simple cleanup post to show that this place can be beautiful and nice... its just the color, pattern, broken, and extra junk visual noise thats hard to get past. If its getting to you, you can quickly change things to something visually quieter and it makes working there so much easier.

Just focus on 1 type of item at a time and only that item and that strategy will help. Even if you have to go back and undo some of the cover up or replacement blocks, flowers, etc... latter. It's so worth it to turn the visual noise down from 11 to 5. Hope this helps people visualize some hope better.

Also for the apartments section, find ground level by the gate and gym and start leveling just the roads, fix those and then you can fix the buildings 1 wall at a time 1 building at a time. Im not done, but a photo gives you an idea what it looks like leveled correctly. Also consider building extensions to the islands to make more land that you can relocate pokemon to while building as well as connect islands together.

Consider as soon as you can clean up tinks trash tower, here I posted a semi cleaned up version.... sadly I didn't have a photo of the before.... but im sure you can find it to compair. See the difference changing out blocks and clearing out the excess junk can really help you see things better and work with it if thats your aim.

Lastly I posted my first area with the pokemon center so you can get an idea of the potential this place has with little alteration you can have ideas for your builds. I barely worked the town areas because the visual noise was bugging me so I built away from it for awhile. This place is genuinely pretty and has so much potential.... its just been left a dump. Also I really hate the yellow tiles. I swear thats half the problem. I took out a ton and left some where it made sense and it looks much better now. Hope this helps someone see the forest from the trees in that trash heap in the sky.

I needed to better connect 2 lands and needed more space for more habitats, heres what I made. Land up top and cloud sea inspired ocean caves below. There is more than this, but these are the highlights i did so far, still working on things. Next is a pokeball tent reasurch station below for a reasurch team base for discovering all there is to see down there.
