Hello to all members of the Mb forum and many many thanks for the friendly comments.

It is still hard to see my collection only at a video now , but i told you - around 100 RW,MP,YY,KS and about 200 Superfast .

I still have and also around 200-300 Corgi/Dinky - so I'm not fully without MB and still have models for my best displays....

As I told you , I will be a collector also in the future , but slow down in many cases.

A few answers of questions in your comments:

to Marcel - sorry , I do not come to Amersfoort ,but I'm planning to be at the next MECA convention next year ! hope to meet you there !

to motorman ( sorry - I do not know your first name....) - yes , normally you must pay around 20% to Vectis , but be sure - I'm not!!! --- sorry I cannot say exactly the rate I have to pay ,but just be sure - Vectis offered me a good rate!!!!

here is the link to the next video :

I hope you like the next part and you can also hear the music ( if not please let me know.... there are sometimes problems with copyrights...)

I had a full time video of my collection of around 40 minutes , but I had to split the video ,because you cannot publish videos that are longer than 15 min. ----

So you must wait a few days for the next parts!

btw ... the metallic blue Harley I bought a few years ago together with a large collection is a lunchtime special in my opinion ,but the Vectis specialists said it seems to be right .... this is not my own opinion - just to let you know!

so , now I wish you much fun with the new part 2 video clip and I will inform you shortly about the next part 3 !

greetings to you all ---- yours Ralph

Oh my Ralph! Once again the Grizzly wanders into view with still more stunning treasures to tempt vintage Lesney collectors. Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop on your plans. Some day you'll have to make a quick video of the models you've kept at home to keep yourself connected with these toys. That too would be very fun!

Use HJ Split to break it into shorter sections which you then make avialable as individual downloads. Viewers then use HJ Split to recombine the parts, thereby obtaining a single file containing the whole video.

Another great selection of models Ralph !
Pitty you can not atend the MCCD weekend here. Some are already in the hotel and will visit me this evening or tomorrow.
Some will stay untill after the weekend and will visit me after the weekend.

Ralph, can you tell us the date of the proposed Vectis sale?? by the way my friends call me Alex.

Ralph, in the video you show a metallic blue #66 Harley, can you shed some light on this model?

Thanks, John

Hi, John - just read the last part of the text I wrote - in my opinion a lunchtime Special or repaint! ---- greetings Ralph

Houghton also catalogues the 66a in 4c light metallic blue. He even illustrates it but, like this model, it too is mint (which makes me wary).
Which version is the casting: is it with or without the strengthening brace?

Ralph,
Another great video of your stunning collection --- beautiful!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop on this and I look forward to upcoming videos and ultimately the auction on Vectis.................
I hope your Summer is going well.
Bill

Im bankrupt already by just looking at your models MBGrizzly!!
