Train Shaped Miniature Sheet
Ravindra Ratnapala from Sri Lanka sent me this lovely train shaped miniature sheet for my collection of odd shaped stamps and sheets.
Sri Lanka post issued five stamps on February 2nd, 2011 commemorating 25 years of service of the Viceroy luxury coal powered steam train. One of the stamps was also issued in a miniature sheet format, the one you see below and is the longest stamp issued by Sri-Lanka till date. It measures 123 mm long and has a denomination of 45 Lankan rupees (LKR), the equivalent of about 20 INR.
The train is in operation even today and is mainly a tourist service. Of its coaches, a couple are air conditioned and the train also has a restaurant and a bar.

Sri Lanka
Another country, stamps of which I really like. I am eagerly looking for all the stamp releases on Christmas that have been issued by Sri Lanka till date. Christmas stamps have been released almost every year in Sri Lanka unlike in India which has only one release of a Christmas se-tenant till date.
Ceylon became a republic within the British commonwealth on 22nd May, 1972 and changed its name to Sri Lanka.
Image above right, Complete set of the birds issue, 4th release of the series.
Image below left, Complete set of the resident birds of Sri Lanka, 2003. 25 stamps in the set.
