For my birthday this year we are getting the kids a train table, ironic I know. I'm definitely not much of a craigslist person, but I've been looking for a good deal on a slightly used train table. I didn't have any luck with the table, amazon actually has the Thomas ones new cheaper, but on a whim I contacted a lady in Fife that was selling a Thomas collection for cheap that her kids had outgrown. Thomas stuff is pretty expensive, even used, so I wasn't expecting much. But there was a TON of tracks, 15-20 engines (most wooden), and lots of fun accessories (roundhouse, Sodar wash station, bridges). If all that wasn't enough, the lady threw in a big bag of other non-Thomas wooden accessories (trees, traffic signals, people, houses). And the real kicker was all of it was in excellent condition. The deal of a lifetime. I'll have to post pictures later when everything is less chaotic. Mil did take pictures of our bulldog takeover at the park, so she did manage to take a slightly blurry picture of the trains with my phone.
