Hi everyone, I've been collecting diecasts for quite a few years now, I started when I was about five, but I didn't realize then, that if I kept them all and looked after them, then I'd have a hell of an original collection. ah well, dream on!!. After all it was over sixty years ago!
I still have a couple of original Dinkies I played with as a young boy!
I've been collecting seriously for about eight years with a variety of models, (cars, buses, Lorries, mostly from the sixties and seventies) from 1.76 to 1.50, all in separate collections, I've also done some code 3's. myself
Looking forward to a long and happy friendship with all of you.
Jim Hebbs |
