This isolation isn't all bad. It took a few days but it finally gave me a kick in the butt. When I was a small boy, one thing I loved was when the local Shell bulk agent delivered heating fuel to our farm. I always stood outside with him as he patiently filled our oil tank in the basement through the pipe that...

We've owned this 68 Triumph Trophy 650 (TR6R) since 1971. Wife and I 'road' it all over southern Ontario for about 15,000 miles (including hwy 400 and 401) when we were a lot younger and could kick start it. Well it's been sitting for about 15 years so I had a resto shop in London get it going and freshened u...

I started converting this Mobieus 61 Catalina into a canadian Laurentian 2dr HT. its alot more complicated than one might think I needed the catalina body to get the correct side trim configuration and taillights, but i still had to add the "stars" to the rear quarters and remove all the emblems. Th...

I had a ton of them. The early ones were good quality. After about 1974 they turned to crap with plastic baseplates and sometimes no interiors. The best years were when they transitioned from Huskey to Corgi Jr. Here's some photos of a cool introduction folder I found online:

I figured since others are showing their toy collection I'd make a brief video showing my small collection. A little bit of everything.

Well I started this collection about 20 years ago as a hobby. To say the least it became a obsession. Most of my collection is 1/18 and 1/24. I recently moved and have a full man cave set up including a small make shift bar for looks made out of a box side and fender. Not operational yet. Still some clean up t...

I came across a couple of models I built years ago as well as the only surviving Corgi truck I had as a child in an old suitcase. I built the GSX back in 1989 as soon as it came out. I thought I had built the Superbird around the same time however when I was cleaning it the interior shell came out and I found this...

I mentioned on another thread that I had purchased an old Mantua-Tyco locomotive kit from the late 1950's-early 1960's. It arrived a week ago from Ontario. After a quarantine period I opened it. Sadly the seller showed a lack of intelligence and shipped it in a padded envelope instead of a box (I know I...

I've been into model trains since I was quite young. It started with a Tri-Ang set my parents got me for Christmas when I was about 5 years old. Later I got an N scale layout when I was about 7. At age 10 I got the HO bug and my parents bought me a Tyco Via Rail set that was in the Simpsons catalogue. That small ova...
