You are most welcome especially at this time with what is going on in the world!

Guessing from your username you have a liking for Dinky toys so when you can please do post some pictures of your collection or singled out models as faavourites.

I responded to your model cleaning question so you have got off to a very good start so any more questions we welcome no matter how basic or silly you consider them, many members here will have the answer you require.

Enjoy your stay here,
Ghosthunter.

Thanks for the welcome. I had but a small collection of Dinky until 2009 when I decided to live abroad and sold most of my collection privately and also on ebay.
One of the items sold on ebay was Gift Set No.246, International Gift Set . I am 90% that the same item was for sale, again on ebay , for an asking price of £300 last month.

Welcome! Your never too old to start collecting again. I sold off a pretty large collection of Matchbox regular wheels around the time you sold yours. It's amazing how many regular wheel 1-75s, Majors, Kings and now YYs have infiltrated my home since then. :shock:
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Hello misterpop

Sorry for the lack of information in the Hello,the Corgi model buses are 1:50 th scale that were made mostly for the American market between 1994 and 2008 by Corgi Classic's ( Leicester ) with a few made by Hornby till 2010 ( probably already in the pipeline ) . There are 125 in the range that I have with two that I cannot confirm were issued ,plus prepros and other items.
