I found two carry case trays in the Lee Con factory days before it was demolished, They were packed full of fittings like this, I tipped them out and kept the trays....

i think my jigs came from a demolition worker,i remember a bucket full of unpressed bodies in one of his lots but i didn,t win that lot,i think he found them behind some machines when they were moved,my mod rod one i think came from paul carr,he won a load of them and i was the under bidder,i contacted him if he wanted to sell one and he agreed to,you could do that then on ebay.
The other jig pics i have posted on the superfast chatroom.

I have also sold two RW metallic lime green Lincolns and a RW Land Rover in gold, two rag & bone carts and probably 10 early large scale rollers plus many more. "Keep looking and eventually another one will come along" is my motto.

I had some lots coming so i bid and won this lot from an auction (shares postage costs) because i don,t see many silver streaks about,when it came and i looked up some info, it then dawned on me this has a silver engine instead of black,reading your posts here its probably not real ,although the dust and wear is pretty consistant ,but has there was no picture of a chrome engined silver streak i thought i would add the auction photo.

Dave the engines on the Modrod are very easy to swap. The chrome engine on Silver Streak began its life on a modrod mate.
