Train swap meets are often quite interesting for model car collectors.
It worked out fine for you.

I really like the colour on the police car. I was able to find a beater of this colour variation, but I'am still looking for an update on this one. We may meet on 24.1.?
The Fordson looks good, too.
Was ein perfekter Start! Da hat sich die Reise ja gelohnt. Ich hoffe wir sehen uns bald wieder.

Liebe Grüße,
Linus
Hi Linus,

the dark blue Fairlane is by far not mint, it has some bigger and smaller chips, especially on the left side.
I'm going to bring it with me when I come to Winsen/Luhe on January 24.....I guess you have no spares for a trade?

Thanks for all the comments,

yes, train swap meets are a great source for nice diecast items at times!
It is quite unusual for German toy train layouts to use Regular Wheels for decoration, as usually they took 1:87 scale plastic toy cars (Wiking, Herpa,....)
These models were always consistent in 1:87 scale - unlike the Matchbox cars that were found in all different scales, everywhere between 1:36 and 1:200.....

brilliant finds Kay...congrats!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Very nice scores. I'll have to find out if/when train enthusiasts' swap meets are held in my area.

Well done kay!!!
i am always highly suspicious of yellow wheeled 72a tractors,it got around here every auction would have a line of mint boxed regular wheels with one of these in it :D ,but follow your gut instinct its usually right and i would have bought them as well :lol:
