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...

I suspect you'd enjoy an episode from a series called "James May's Toy Stories". Season 1, episode 4 profiles Scalectrix slot cars. They travel to England to the site of the fabled Brooklands race course and decide to build a Scalectrix layout over the original track. Only problem is there are now hou...

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...

Hey guys, Anyone enjoy listening to SW? I recently picked up a 1980 Vintage Panasonic RF4800, to kind of pick up on a old hobby I had when I was a kid. I had a old Radio Shack SW back in the 70's, with a long wire antenna outside my bedroom window stretching 100' up the yard. Man, I loved that old radio. Used to...

One of the side line hobbies I do is collect Tiny Tonka's in the original packaging. Finding them locally are next to impossible, so watching auctions houses is the best bet. Should you find any in your travels, chances are I would buy them. Even if they are doubles. Singles or sets.
