Afternoon I’m Kevin and I’m pleased to be a member of the forum. I collect tinplate toysteam engines such as Mamod, SEL and Bowman. I also have a few pieces of Hornby dublo tinplate three rail track and coaches.
Recently I have been bitten by the bug of collecting Lesley Matchbox cars. I look forward to participating in some of the forum discussions.

Kindest Regards
Kevin

I live in the City of Durham and to be honest I have not heard much in the way of toy fair. It makes it harder as I don’t drive either so I have to plan my journeys.

Jim Corr is the man for Durham toy fairs and he can be contacted here...

He will have regular visitors to his gtoy fairs and may know one who could offer you a lift there and back.
