Can I say on behalf of many members, we are witnessing what must be a most complete 'Speed Kings' model collection ever to grace the internet, it is truly an amazing collection and Charlie must be congratulated on all his hard work in putting such a collection together and we all thank Him for bringing it to this forum.

Charlie, you are a star!

Where does he store it all?

Is that the same body that they used on the fire engine?

Nice collection.

Hi GhostHunter,
Thank you for the kind words. It really took a lot of effort and determination to assemble such a collection of superking variations and I am grateful that collectors out there appreciate it. Superkings are under represented and very little material is written about them so it is work in progress as I continue finding and adding variations. My only regrets I have is that I did not embark on this project a few years ago so that Wolfie Ginsburg would have seen it, but due to the nature of my work I could not.

Motorman - the bulk of the superkings are displayed in 16 display cabinets, each one with 8 shelves. It is an awesome sight to see although I am accustomed to it now.

Tito - If you are referring to the K9C Fire Tender, the answer is no.

Okay. Thanks.

Tito

Charlie, I am sure I am not the only one who would love to see how you display your models. If you are comfortable with the idea we would love to see images of the 16 display cabinets you refer to.

I agree with Alex, but first we should allow Charlie a long earned rest from all the posting he has been doing. It's not easy ensuring all the pictures are in the right order and the right size, but he has done it so go on Charlie, take a rest, then come back with a picture or Two of your displays if you don't mind.

Ghosthunter.
