06 - The Greendale Rocket

10th May 2006

The Greendale Rocket is a collection of figures, road vehicles and railway stock modelled on the television characters from the children's programme Postman Pat. Other items are from Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam and others.

Because the Greendale Rocket stock has a similar width to that of the MR as well as an almost identical buffer height and spacing, it seemed ideal to add this light hearted collection to the galleries of the MR.
