Some years ago an American friend asked me to buy certain models from ebay.uk as the sellers would only post to the UK and as I had a summer house in Scotland I could use this address. My neighbour in Scotland would collect the parcels and keep them until I arrived to pick them up. Well, sadly he died between visits and his daughters cleared the house including two parcels for me!
After my daughter made contact with the girls via Facebook, I was informed that the two parcels are in their shed in Aberdeen. Just got back from a family holiday in Scotland and of course made contact and collected the parcels.
They where posted in 2005 and Emma, the daughter had kept them, unopened for over ten years!
I couldn't even remember what was in them.





Not really my collecting zone but nice to have after all this time.

I think that top one is a tough one to find. Nice story.

Yeah, the top was is a great find. I believe the tank carrier with white bonnet vent is also quite HTF

What a story Rod! Nice that you were finally able to connect all the dots.

A happy ending

I can't believe you didnt call by for a dram Rod!!!

Would've loved to but we were on the east coast and with the whole ( well nearly) family. Six adults and three children. Didn't want to impose

Oh Rod, I have to say what a missed opportunity that was, I am sure it would have been possible for Alex to accommodate you and your 'Nearly Family'...

Ghosty.
