This time we are going way, way back...

396 Thatcher Perkins Locomotive

Description: Released clear back in 1976 as a part of the hobby series. Containing 438 parts, this set is actually quite detailed given its age. Retail price back then was a mere 10 bucks, today it goes MISB for around 400 dollars, collectors take note!

My take: When I first saw this set, I figured it was old, but not 33 years old, so I figured I would spotlight it for # 33. Once built, I suppose you could throw in some minifigs and enhance the fun factor of it. Until next week!
