Many were old even back then - pulled from cellar boxes of stuff that had belonged to my parents and their siblings. This was during wartime when few new toys were available. Little did I realize what treasures these toys were. It's wonderful to see people preserving, restoring and collecting them in our throwaway age. One of my grown daughters is an artist and crafts person who, among other pursuits, restores beautiful antique dolls, and has written about that. I'll forward this post to her.

I spent a large part of my childhood and early teens planning the model railway to end all model railways But some of those lovely locomotives cost nearly £10, so I could only dream. The whole toy world still has a deep fascination for me and this post filled me with nostalgic pleasure. That Inter-State bus is classic!Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-56928694407906047912016-12-13T09:56:29.356+00:002016-12-13T09:56:29.356+00:00Love this.

I'd go a bit further and thank ALL the geeks and nerds who share the hours of work and nit-picking knowledge they put into their hobbies and collections whether it's old magazines, world war 2 submarines, 1930s wooden motor cruisers. Much obliged to you all - and huzzah for the internet which makes this sharing possible.julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.com
