Butlin‘s, only ever went (made to go) once. Hated it! Bloody Redcoats telling you when to laugh and making you play daft games. Don’t think I ever got over the experience.

So you was the old bugger who didnt give me a tip.

The K17 is on my wish list. Nice example.

Lots of great things there - the Lomax is really nice, and the Simplex garage is just fabulous! It would be good to see more of the 73a with black wheels - there’s a lot of doubt about whether this is a genuine variation.

That 73a does look interesting as it seems to have the first small connecting brace which implies it should not have the black plastic wheels!

I will post some more detailed photos of the Pressure Refueller later on this week.
Yes, there are some doubts but at the end I think it is an original model. I'll illustrate it with the pics.

Very nice Maarten. We are still waiting the closer pictures about the Refueller

Cheers, Peter

Thank you Maarten for the photo of the back of the Husky blister pack.

It looks like you have started the year off with several interesting additions.
I particularly like the 2 Lesney business cards. Interesting to note that Mr. Prins had cards issued (presumably in the UK) by Lesney and in the US by Fred Bronner. Or perhaps they were both printed in the US for a North American sales rep.

Thank you for sharing.

Patience Peter, patience...

I'm very busy with my work and I need daylight to make good quality detailed pics...
Give me some more days... the Pressure Refueller won't roll away!
