Very nice models Peter

Thank you, John!

Yes they are very nice, still after a 27b box myself. J

Many, many years ago, that was the very last model I acquired (from Philip Bowdidge in fact) in order to complete my one-of-every-casting-mint-and-boxed collection. It was a very difficult model to find mint and boxed (but is probably a lot easier to locate these days with the advent of Ebay).

Still seems quite hard to find now at a good price, down to about 10 models I need to complete the same as you. Not so much the models but its the boxes I am trying to make an effort with.
Would be nice just to complete something, I just seem to go off in different directions all the time.

A new 31B

Very nice 27b with box - like others, this is one the last handful of Lesney 1-75s that I do not have a boxed example of - only unboxed. I still think it is the toughest of the basic castings to get.

Cheers,
Gavin

Definitely.

Before this year I hadn't got 31A or 31B, so this year is fantastic for me, just look for these:
