When I started collecting about 10 years ago everything was up on display (kept on adding more shelves up the wall).

Plus a cupboard of carry cases, photos, garages, roadways & other ephemera. This thread is a good reason to finally tidy up the cupboard and post some photos.

Display Shelf

Knowing that I'd never be able to afford a card display I decided to make my own.

very nice display unit , I like the use of harder to find variants

Very nice collection. I like the King Size models, and my hands-down favorite is the early Lesney Massey-Harris tractor.

Recently got Ultra Fast Fibre installed. NZ Government is subsidising the rollout across the country with free installation to inside the house.
At a similar cost to what I was paying for ordinary broadband so very happy. Able to connect up my Sky via wireless and watch/download everything with no problems.
