EXTREMELY RARE FIND - THE "LOST" ENGINE
You are looking at one of the hardest-to-find characters in the entire ERTL Thomas & Friends range: Sixteen.
Character History: Sixteen is a steelworks engine based on the Railway Series books ("Wilbert the Forest Engine"). He never appeared in the classic TV series, making this die-cast model incredibly scarce and sought after.
Condition: Vintage New on Card (NOC). The blister is clear and firmly attached. Card shows minor shelf wear consistent with age.
Collector's Note: A true "Holy Grail" piece for serious ERTL collectors.
