Hi all,
I've not posted any new stuff for a bit, so thought I'd make up for it by posting some stuff I've got over the last few months.
I'm having a Dinky holiday, so as my Morestone / Budgie collection was looking a bit thin I decided to see what I could find.

Here we go...
Pair of large MC Combos AA and RAC, the AA was my absolute favourite toy as a kid...


Lovely Lewin Sweepmaster, S&D cab I think, same as the dustbin lorry that came to my house as a kid..


Not the best model RM money can buy, but still very cheap mint / boxed...


Loco! I LOVE these, trying to get them all, here's black with decals...


Rarer bronze...


Early red with cast lettering...


I already have a late red with decals, so there's a couple of green versions,light and dark, and a black with cast letters to go now.

Leyland tanker..


Seddon Low loader, without cable drums, but with the Dozer from the International Low loader that I still need...

I've ordered a set of EFE 00 cable drums as they are very like the originals, and will fill in nicely till an original set comes along.

BIG! As in BIG AA Land Rover, real toe breaker if dropped...

These are often missing the doors, or rear tail, luckily this one's complete. (Tailgate won't shut though!)


Posted my other new bits in European.
Cheers

When was the last time we saw the large AA Land Rover by Morestone, fantastic find and not too bad condition. I do like the 'Routemaster' and may have one of those somewhere, I know I've got a few RM's in a box, must dig them out.

Cheers mate,
Rarity doesn't always reflect in cash terms. These are still pretty cheap, but as you say the large AA Land Rover is pretty rare, a mate has the army version, sadly without doors though.

Are you sure thats not a benbros land rover?
I haven,t got my books handy to double check but heres my budgie land rovers (the smaller ones , but not matchbox size ones) and what i think are morestone ,the AA and RAC ones.

I pick up the odd budgie now and again,your trains are in very good condition,never seen a bronze one and i think there is an orange version,never add a sweeper yet
Heres my latest finds,the clown is quite topical at the moment and the supercar is the third i have found but this is my first one with a figure in it.

Hi Dave,
Could be Benbros to be honest, I'm no expert on these, and they're all very much alike to me!
Cheers

Well spotted Chris, it is by Benbros, my mistake. Here it is with it's box. They are too alike to make a quick identification.
