Yo Dick, its about time we saw some of these superb sets of yours. Had a look at the albums and the photo's are very good. Being such large items in boxes they are very hard to get close up shots with a digital camera. I am sorry I sold my old Cannon camera, it had four lenses you could add on to get really close up photo's, you could get perfect shots, but then all the messing getting them developed etc. I noticed Bob (4th Hussar) saying you were a lucky guy, but its not about luck Bob. Dick has invested a lot of money in buying these sets, and waited for the right condition set to come up for sale. He would never go for a set that was incomplete or with any damage. As my old Mum always taught me "You get what you pays for" its a good lesson. I took a leaf out of Dicks book and always try and get the best, if you are going to buy Old Britains sets its the only way you can go about it. One of Dicks sets came on ebay last night for big bucks, but minus its box. I will be very surprised if anyone goes for it. Nice set but unless you can get a box in a very good condition its only worth half the value. One of Vectis experts told me, there will always be a market for vintage top class condition Toys, you will never lose out on them. You can see why I call Dick, Dickbritains now. Lets see the rest mate, they are a sight to behold.

Bernard -- thanks for your kind comments - as soon as the holidays are over, and the grandkids leave, I will make a valiant attempt to get better photos and post them.
