I just agreed to a swap with good friend Tom Dubel to pick up this CJB Models 1920's Morris delivery van (Moorehouses Jams Livery):

Missed out on this one, a Desert Austin Tilly which sold for $478!

Too bad I had no idea they were that expensive but Tom D told me they were.

Its gone crazy on ebay. I bid up to $255, but was not even in the running. They are great items, but the prices are off the charts!

The sale fell through because the high bidder backed of the deal, the desert Tilly was relisted, and I snagged it this morning for a substantially lower price! Photos to follow upon receipt.:smile2:

Brad, and everyone else who has posted, PM'd or e-mailed me,

I thank you so much for your concern, and it has brightened my days since I got hurt. I am going to be all right. I may need surgery, but I am sure that I will make a full recovery. I am working from home, and getting treatment, and checking the forum when I can.

Thank you all for being such good friends,

Louis

Yes, post successful back surgery last week I am back in the game! Look forward to finding some more CJB Models . . . I have to post a photo of the desert Austin Tilly I bought just before my accident.:smile2:

There' a nice CJB Models Austin Tilly on ebay right now. I already have two, so won't be bidding, but this is one of my favorites, with rear-seats that really fold up and down.:wink2:

For anyone interested, there is a Morris D-Type Army truck in a Toy Army Workshop lot in an upcoming Vectis Auction this month. I am not the seller, and I am not bidding, as I already have the item. Here is a link:

Lost an auction for this cool little item this morning at 5:00 a.m. Its a 1939 Morris 10hp Delivery Van, with a really cool standing figure of the deliver man picking up a tray of produce. I will definitely be on the lookout for another chance to by this little beauty:

There is a CJB Models 1927 Morris Commercial 1 ton truck presently up on ebay. I am not bidding, as I have two different one, and I am not the seller. Its a great model, so get in there and bid!:smile2:

Right before I injured my back I purchased a Morris CS8 Platoon Truck with a driver and passenger directly from Mr. Burkill, but never posted any photos of it. Attached are a couple of photos of my CS8 Platoon Truck:

The lot, which also included some nice Toy Army Workshop pieces, went for 460 British pounds. Any of you buy it?

Lost an auction this morning for another wonderful CJB Civilian Model I had never seen before, a 1939 Morris 10hp Pickup with some terrific figures:
