MBX Road Museum visit
MBX Road Museum visit
Hi all,
Just had the opportunity to visit Everett Marshall's "Matchbox Road Museum". He graciously let me walk around and take pictures even though there was ongoing renovation work.
Some of the pictures did not come out so clear, mainly because of the glare and the reflections from the mirrors and overhead lights. Anyway, it should give you a general idea of
this place. One needs to spend hours to truly appreciate the scope & depth of the collection. My favorite section was the Kingsize area especially the prepro section where some
amazing gems are on display. I have taken many pictures, some came out good and some not so good. I am posting a few of them, sorry if there are any redundancies. Enjoy!

Re: MBX Road Museum visit
It looks like a world class collection, a good place to get locked in for a night
In the back of my mind, I vaguely remember seeing photos or possibly a video of the collection quite a long time ago. It's great to see it's still going strong, thanks for posting the photos.

Hi Marcel,
Everett looked good. He certainly keeps busy and very much active in the hobby. It is such an amazing collection he has, and it keeps getting bigger. Some models
are more likely one of a kind only to be seen at the "Matchbox Road Museum". A lot of matchbox history to absorb, well worth the visit.
