LOL @Jim O'C Over here we would say it had "Mixo" .. short for myxomatosis, a virus introduced here to control the wild rabbit population ( rabbits are not native to Australia , and now number in the millions , all from 13 rabbits imported near Geelong in the late 1800's) Mixo kills them , but it makes them blind first .. poor bunnies !
I know you should never brag about such finds but I "think" you fellows will hate me now , because I have paid a total of $80AUD ( about $50US/EU) for it .... including postage ! ... But as the trains/toys I collect are not for financial resale or gain for me other than in the acquiring , its neither here nor there
I am still shaking my head today wondering how the heck it got here , and even more how did I spot it ? It was one of those true moments when I knew exactly what it was , and yet STILL thought "Nah ... it cant be ! " ... google google .. bloody h-e-double hockey sticks!
Thanks for the extra info @Don McErlean, and that certainly gels with what I have learnt about it ...
Now to really push my luck and find those wagons which must be here somewhere ( lol) !!! ( kidding .. but you never know!)
