Hi Guys,
Does anyone remember a website that used to show Matchbox cars in real life settings?
A can recall a Victor estate with a family picnic at the back and also a production line full of Anglias, but there were many others.
Searched the web but nothing shows up.
I also remember an old Lesney black and white picture of a Routmaster bus in a real setting.
It would be great to see some of them again.
Cheers,
John.

The Black and White 'Press' photos posted by "Tinman" are as near as you can get regards models in real settings and several were produced. All mine are on the other Hard drive, so can not post any here, sorry!

Yes, all staff had access to a Bus journey to and from work. The odd Bus was also used for outings on Bank Holidays etc.

I have a lot of Lesney Staff bus photos on file but never saw this one.
Where did you find it Kevin?
Many thanks for posting.
I have an original header from one of the staff busses.

Hello Marcel.
I look at so many websites for my Hobbies, not just for Matchbox and I do not keep notes of them. It may have been a Bus website because I like Routemaster Buses and models, I am sure it will turn-up again in the not too distant future.
