a few I picked up today nothing too special #28c has unpainted engine #74c is the darker shade of green
#59a I'm not sure about maybe a good restoration but I like it (see Mikes posting viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2191#p17922 ) for more pictures
my two favourites have to be the lone star taunus and the juniors recovery truck both in colours new to me

Hi Reg,

I think the 28c with unpainted engine is a good find. One of those ones that no-one seems to think is too hard to get, but I've opened up hundreds of those bonnets looking for one and it took forever to find one!

Cheers,
Gavin

Nice one Reg and a great box too, I like some of the Lone Star models. But I'm worried you're getting an obsession with fire engines :D

Love the Transit Camper, had one of these and played with it for hours on end, don't remember what happened to it, I don't have it now. The other models are nice and what a good collection of 'LONE STARS' you're getting Reg, any missing from your collection that you can think of...!!
