Was at Falkirk today and was suprised how quite it was. A lot of the dealers must be on their hols i suspect so the picking were poor. Nothing special to be had but I managed to find a few SF's to keep me from going home empty handed. Got the #6 Merc (silver painted base) and the #34 F1 car for a crisp ten pound note. The #32 tanker cost me 50p!!!!(unboxed)

Arrived Yesterday this SF#58 DAF Girder truck is one i have been after for a while. I wanted a mint example and this one comes very close so i am very happy. Creamy White body, girders on sprue without "Pat App" on base. I bought it from an American seller and with the pound being so strong at the moment i paid just over £40 for it, What a bargain!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Reg i am telling you watch e bay america there are a few good BIN deals if you are quick....on this occasion i was very quick!!!

With regards the Tanker...i agree i was robbed because the seller was a railway nutter who had no interest in it!! Regardless my opening bid of 10p was met with silence so 50p was not a bad deal!! Unfortunately he didn't have anything else of interest except railway shit!!! :lol: :lol:

Hi Alex, very nice clean #69 'Drop-Top' in Gold you have got there, large rear-arches and correct 'TM' box, so many times do I see the wrong box with these models, great catch.

Yeah! considering there are not many toy fairs in his neck 'o' the woods, he does pretty well, must be on first name terms with all the EBay guys if that's where he gets them from... :D
