As the Sabah Train comes huffing by....

My generous friend Mr.Joel yet again has sent me a beautiful miniature sheet to enrich my odd shaped stamps collection. The Malaysian MS depicts the "Sabah Train".  The MS was issued on 28th of December 2015 by Malaysia Post. 

Sabah state railway earlier known as North Borneo railway operates in the state of Sabah, one of the two Malaysian states in the island of Borneo.  It connects over 15 stations and is 134 km long line. In the right side of the MS we can see the stations connecting Papar and Tanjung Aru

This was the third time Pos Malaysia issued Trains on stamps. Along with this MS of the Vulcan steam locomotive, under the heading Pengangkutan awam Malaysia or Malaysian Public transport, Pos Malaysia has issued 3 more stamps - Hitachi Diseal Hydraulic Locomotive, Rail Bus and Diesel Multiple Unit. 

This beautiful MS made my day :).  Terima Kasih Joel!!!   Terima Kasih Banyak Banyak :).

Few of the many other gifts Mr.Joel had sent me can be seen in the below links:
