It was super fun to go out to dinner with the MRS. and your friend. You took a couple pics. Please email them to me or add them to the thread. I plan to go to ABQ this year so hope to see you there. What fun tourist destination is on the agenda for 2015?

Tom,
The hallway displays just continue to get better and better -- VERY nice!!
Glad to hear that you are planning to come back to Albuquerque next year-- we have really missed you and it will be great to have you back!

On and off as time and finances have allowed for the thick end of forty years I guess.

Bob, great to see these up to date photos of your superb toyroom.
Looks that more and more items are added to the collection since I visited it.

As soon as Bob posted the first picture from his set, I knew we was in for a treat. This has to be the finest 'Yesteryear' collection in the U.K. to go 'Public'.

Thank you Bob, I now know what I have to aim for to get my collection to match...!!

How kind, but I know of a few better one's than this, and by a considerable margin in one case. One in particular I have been trying to liberate models from for most of my collecting years without success!
