Thanks friends :) the hunt goes on....

I had the good fortune of spotting this little grey wheel 48b trailer sitting in a group lot so.. I just had to snap up another great bottom of the barrel find :D As luck would have it I happened to have a spare boat, just waiting for a trailer to go along with it.

Was able to pull this little group up from the bottom of the barrel for 6€
They cleaned up quite nicely.

Have happily added the early Yesteryear's to my small, but quickly growing, collection of them.
Seems the he Benz 36-220 is the less common twin spare version. It's in rather nice condition, unfortunately missing the seats, which seems to occur fairly frequently on this model. I really like the Y4-2 Shand Mason it's a quite nice early example, with decal guides, single rivet drawbar and 12 slot footplate, although a couple of the firemen have gone missing, perhaps checking for the fire code violations at the local pub while awaiting the next alarm. The black roller 18c is a better example than the one I had, so it shall take it's ranks, in my RW 1-75 collection.

This just arrived, a very nice Y1-1 Allchin Traction Engine with the harder to find silver boiler door.
I was able to pull up from the bottom of barrel for just €2.50 :D

It will be taking its place in my recently started MOY collection.

Very nice zB, that's a bargain and looks in great condition. I think it's a very handsome looking model.

Thanks John. I'm really enjoying these early Yesteryear models, not only finding and acquiring them, but also, having and admiring them, as well. They are indeed quite handsome.
