I am getting a little jealous of your fleamarkets :mrgreen: :lol:
Love the Hoch and Tief bulldozer - hope you find the rest of the set.

Hi Ewan,
thanks for your kind post.
Yes there is no better engagement on a saturday or sunday morning than getting up early and going to a fleamarked! :)
It will be hard to find a single "Hoch and Tief" lowloader in good condition, but I will try my best.
Here my only two "Hoch and Tief" models till now. Bought them in a lot with some other nice pieces, example given: Superkings VW Golf I "ADAC".

Have a nice weekend,
Linus

Very nice collections, Linus.
Congrats.
A top collection of interesting Matchbox models.

Unfortunately, we can only dream about it in Austria.

Yes, very nice display you have put together, you have a nice early #43 Pony Trailer with a tan base (this was later to be painted in dark green). Shame you say some parts are missing from the service station, I expect most suffer from this, kids really should not be allowed to play with such toys, it spoils it for us adults when we collect them... :D

Ghosty.

Very nice Linus, the service station comes alive with the models (not sure about grazing horses though :lol: )

Good evening,
Thanks for your posts guys.

You are absolutely right Ghosthunter...just imagine...a world only with :!: MINT :!: matchbox toys :D But this would make collecting matchbox toys a bit boring.

Yes Johnboy the grazing horses... :D But I have an explanation:
Check the picture below! You never saw something like that?! This horse is a really gourmet. The grass in these cracks is the best you can find ;)
Only the best for my Matchbox Horses :D
Okay no...I will reconsider this!

Greetings,
Linus

Good evening,
today I went to a vintage car show + scale car/toy fair.
Here are the results. Some nice items in there, I really like the dark green "Singer" van and the Superkings Mercedes C111 with clear windows and another mechanism to 'turn the lights on'. (seems a bit rarer, maybe a Superkings expert could help.) I got the Singer van for less than 5€.
I will post the real cars in the forum soon.

Greetings,
Linus
