I'll keep an eye on him, no bother

Try and find him a Lone-Star model, that'll keep him occupied for a few Hours...

Ghosty.

Hi all, Just got back from Sandown turned out to be another waste of time, brought one empty box. A fair few matchbox there but nothing for me & nothing really mint. Vectis had their stand there will some of Rons superfast collection there, a few nice models but if you go through their catalogue most of the stuff is chipped & bumped & boxes not too good either. It will be interesting to see what they make whether prices are up or down Pete

well Sandown was pretty good for me 4 nice Lone Stars one is a bit of a puzzler for me which I only noticed when I got home maybe Kev can shed some light later when I post some pictures
a big thank you to YYSFORBOB for keeping an eye on me and not letting me wander off into the surrounding homesteads scaring old ladies

Always a pleasure Reg.
Like Pete I only bought one empty box, but did have an item to collect from Vectis. Also set up a deal with Graham, so not a total loss. Went and played with some big Traction Engines in the afternoon.

I have a new collection I've just acquired of about 50 boxed late regular wheels and early superfast that I'll be taking to Shepton this Sunday (7th June). A few good things here such as a v.nice #29 s/fast Fire Pumper Truck etc...

Something I've not had before is a #45 Ford Group C in metallic lime with the pale pink base. I think I've seen this base with the darker green, but is this variant particularly hard to find?

Thanks
Stephen

Look who i bumped into today at the Falkirk swap meet. None other than our leader Nick Jones!!! As always it was a pleasure to spend some time with the great man.

My son Dylan was delighted to get his picture taken with Nick.
