Thanks for sharing that. There's nothing like having a story behind a set. Great that the owner picked the TRK-9 over the TRK-12, which was much more popular. The 12 is a nice model too, but you can almost call it common, and boxy, next to the 9.
If you post a pic of the entire set while it's on, that would be great to see. You don't see these rare sets "in action" often!
