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 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 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...

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...

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...

I stumbled upon this Youtube channel that's devoted to 1/64 die cast car racing. These videos are well done. They have a Facebook page where folks can submit their cars for each series. This is the type of track we all dreamed we had as kids. Check out this 2019 Championship race [video=https://www.yo...

Summer 1973 my dad was living with us at our first house and planted this clematis...... We moved 33 1/2 years later to our present home and wanted to transplant my dad's clematis.... Everyone said it will die...........so I thought, nothing to lose and dug it up and transplanted it some 15 years ago.....

Some cool stuff coming out for you collectors and model builders. It's too bad the Chevy II wasn't released with parts to build an Acadian. I've emailed the company a couple of times suggesting they come out with a Canadian Muscle series but haven't ever received any sort of reply. [video=https://ww...
