The content on the sales pages was prepared on 30th. June 2026, being equivalent to the hard-copy version No. 119. All previous versions are now out-of-date.
I continue to be actively engaged in the delightful world of ‘vintage’ toys and models, particularly Hornby and other products of the wonderful Meccano factory. There are now very few toy-fairs held in U.K., especially within reasonable travelling distance, compared with the quantity available during my most active years. I don’t frequent the auction rooms, as I have always preferred face-to-face personal transactions when either buying or selling.
Despite the absence of fairs, numerous toys and models have passed through my hands since the previous full list was issued in December 2025, but most of those new acquisitions were listed in my April 2026 supplement, so there are very few strictly ‘new’ offers in this consolidation.
Please contact me by e-mail (preferred), telephone or letter if any item is of interest to you. I usually have only one of any item, but if the item in question has already been sold, I may be able to offer an alternative. Also, if you have any special requirement, please let me know as I may be able to locate it for you. But please let me know if you should acquire it elsewhere! Also, I remind you that I am always interested in purchasing suitable items.
I have further new stock ‘in the pipeline’, so I hope to issue one or more supplements over the next six months until my lists are again fully revised at the end of the year (December 2026).
Don’t forget that I am always interested in hearing from you if you have items to sell similar to those listed within these lists. My motto: ‘Buying or selling - I offer a good deal’.
I also remind Hornby 0-gauge enthusiasts that I operate a ’spare parts supply’ business alongside my mainstream ‘ready-to-run’ business, so if you need any parts to keep your trains running, please view my listings on my ‘Old Tin Toy Train Parts’ web-site www.otttp.co.uk (accessible from my home-page).
I can also recommend repairers if you feel unable to tackle jobs yourself.
Please see the ‘Show Dates’ page for details of the fairs I am planning to attend over the remainder of 2026.
I hope to hear from many of you With all good wishes for the remainder of 2026.
Yours sincerely
