Here is my #23 Caravan with grey wheels. Have had this since the mid-sixties. Bought at Eaton's Department Store in Winnipeg Manatoba, Canada.

I wish I had taken such good care of my childhood toys! Even though they'd been through hell, in hindsight I should have kept them...but my Dad sold them off at a flea market.

Some wonderful models there, and the resizing experiment was a success, though the 75B pictures might even be a bit too small.

Where have you been?? Welcome aboard and these models/pictures are absolutely amazing!!
I am sure that each model has an interesting story behind it, especially the ones that you've had in your collection for over 50 years -- WOW !!
Thank you for sharing and I'm looking forward to more pictures and stories about your collection...............

I saw that there was one of these listed in the guide. I haven't come across very many in my years. Can't remember where this one came from but I think it was from a collection I bought back a while. I have a friend in the auction business that sells estate stuff so it may have come from there. Found one other loose boat in brown.

Here is a cool Red #8 in a rare box. Got this on ebay from a person who listed it wrong. Got it for $280. I was pleased.
