Being an enthusiast of all things TV, Film and general broadcasting, I always wanted those TV models. The nearest I got to having any of them was the Corgi 'Samulson's' Commer filming Van.

So nice to see them being enjoyed by Todays collectors, very pleased you have them Dave and thank's for posting them.

I've been looking for a last edition Ford 40 RV in darker blue for ages, but with no luck. A very lucky find especially as in such good condition

Yes, a great find, I wasn't expecting to get at reserve. I thought someone would be keen, but I picked up both the Fords for 40 quid and the seller only lived 6kms away so I was stoked.

Images below are of another lot I just picked up. Images were limited to these and I can tell some have been repainted as the axle ends are green. How many and how well is the punt I took, seller listed twice over two weeks with limited interest and basically almost halved his initial asking price when he sent out a fixed price offer after the second weeks listing expired with no bids.

22g tank in the bottom left corner of the 1st two photos has me intrigued, original or copy. Both searchlight trucks seem to be repainted post war models because of the ridged hubs. Austin with window frame, Canteen and water tanker all likely prewar, but repainted? Multiple figures and motorcycles an added bonus. I couldn't pass up the opportunity! More photo's in a couple of days once they have arrived.

A mixture of local bought Swap Meet and US Dublo bulk lot are the new models this week.

Firstly the swap meet finds:

36b Bentley





39e Chrysler Royal Sedan





39b Oldsmobile 6 Sedan





40j Austin Somerset





40b Triumph 1800 Saloon





Copy Chrysler Airflow





Hawker Hurricane









Ford GT40







Bedford Tipper







Dublo Austin Lorry









I've been on the look out for Dublo Dinky models I didn't have and got lucky completing 4 gaps with one lot of six dinky models.

The 4 I didn't have:

Austin taxi









Commer Van









Tractor









Austin Lorry with Black wheels









The non Dublo model in the lot is a RAC Motorbike and Sidecar. This one I also didn't have so whilst the condition isn't the best it will do until another one comes along.

2 X Hudson Hornet









Ford Fordor





Austin A105





A diverse military lot, first several Russian vehicles

Finally the reason I bought these lots was this little lot of Original and repainted Tekno Ford V8's, Scania and tractor.

Even though I don't collect Dinky, I find this a fascinating, informative, and educational thread. (Lord Reith would approve!)
Thank you for taking the trouble to make and upload these photographs of your latest additions on such a regular basis.

Thanks Hugh!

That will be Tony who has slowly been selling Maurice Wooley's collection. I've got a few pieces myself... sadly I never got to see Maurice's collection although I have a photo somewhere of him in his model room... a here it is!
[Edit... the cabinets step out on the wall behind because that is where the window was in his room!]
