What gets my attention is the Dinky's and Dinky Dublo's, but none look particularly gem like.

The Britains small scale tractor is scarce.

I am really pleased with the dublos,the lorries are to scale to the cars so the lorries are bigger,the normal dinkys aren,t really any good but the white coach is nice ,its a cij made in france,a renault.
The britains tractor is scarce you are right,but look carefully behind the green dublo for an even rarer tractor ,all of these aren,t the three i was thinking of though :D

I think you have picked out the rarest lesney,there is a green wheeled dumper at the back also but the three i am thinking of are rarer than these and aren,t lesney,another clue they aren,t horse draw either :D

Red tractor is too indistinct for me to recognise. The various small scale implements are also unusual and I do not recognise.

Looking forward to the reveal and some close up photo's of the Dublo's.

Cheers

Some very nice Lesneys and Dublos there, some of the accessories are a bit indistinct. How about the haystack though (Taylor or T&B)? Also interesting models to the left and behind the Coca Cola truck. What's the red truck behind the Observation Coach?

I'd say the red truck is the cab unit for the Esso(?) tanker. Looks French similar to Dinky Simca, Ford or Renault, but isn't due to grey wheels and lack of ladder, etc.

Roll up, anyone else want to guess?

I thought at first it might be a Panhard but the tanker has twin rear axles :?

The red tractor i think is a wardie as is the AA box,the horsedrawn carts and blue tractor are britains,the haystack and flowers again maybe britains?,the horse drawn log truck i think is benbros.
