My RS3 set arrived today, and it took its time! I was surprised at how big the coaches were, and how the chimney was off the SL3. Although seeing as I'm not going to steam it this doesn't bother me too much. The cellophane is broken in the front, but this is practically unavoidable. The front even has a price tag on it of £159.99! Now fro some pics:
Everything is is 'as it left the factory!' condition, although the bottle of oil is missing... My set is one of the first as well:
I'm a very happy bunny

| Nice! Even though as you said, you aint going to fire it, it'd be worth cleaning up the chimney base and arlditing it back in. |
