Would love one of those yellow Y19 Auburns. There was a Y20 Merc done in yellow as well, but seldom seen, unlike the blue and grey version of which there are many, a few hundred I would guess.

Sorry Bob - keep getting my numbers wrong - by the way I traded my yellow Y19 with black seats for the Thomas with yellow seats !

Blimey, whoever did that trade didn't see much profit! You certainly did. Nice one.

Thank you for sharing those pictures, and certainly not boring at all!

Right, I'll try and find time to post more of them.
I'll have to take some more photo's too.

Cheers, Steve

Many interesting stuff, pre-production models, playsets, factory photos, even models from the 80s. Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing!

Some more fascinating stuff there and noting the 'LESNEY PRODUCTS CORPORATION' (Fred Bronner's company), on the bottom of the Daredevil game suggests these are or were for the American markets, so are being seen for the first time for a lot of us members here.

Continued thank's for showing this precious material.

There are a few more photo's left to show from my random selection album pages.
As there has been some response to the photo's and members insist they are not getting board from all the photo's, I was trying to think of a way to show them all. Of course I don't want to become a show off! May be it's to late.
I was thinking I could do them subject by subject ie Factory photo's, Factory workers photo's, Yesteryears,1-75's. Something like that. What do members think?

Hi Steve. I think that is a good idea because in this thread you have shown a general selection from your collection so we are now fully aware of what you have. If you could now add some pictures in the respective threads such as those you have mentioned, would work so those only interested in the '1-75 series' won't need to see 'Yesteryears', go for it my friend!

Very fascinating photos Steve, thanks for showing it. Maybe your photos should deserved a completely separate gallery where the individual photos were reproduced separately in very good quality. It is realy amazing, I can take the view several times on it and I never get enough.
