Junkman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Also, there is this ever growing array of old traffic signs and signals to keep the lead content of my bloodstream on a sufficient level. These are all marked Gilco. These aren't marked at all and I wonder who made them. Look at the size difference between the Gilco and the unmarked traffic light.

Remspoor Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I always thought the road signs /beacons etc were made by Dinky:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dinky-Toys-2x-Black-White-Yellow-Beacon-Traffic-Signals-777-/172046977515Thanks for the many many photos reporting of the exhibition.

NP. Well, your link proves that they aren't made by Dinky, something I've concluded when I did my own research previously. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59Impala Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 More work has gone into repairing and preparing that Matchbox Fiat 1500 than the one that I banger raced back in the hot summer of 1976. And I still have my Matchbox Fiat, one owner from new and one of my favourite cars to play with way back then. I also picked up a mint one for two quid a couple of years ago. mercrocker, Junkman, egg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnside Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Due to mainly me and Felly getting excited over all things Gama / Schabak related. I recently bid and won these pair of Fords off ebay. The Escort despite being in excellent condition had two bent axles annoyingly. So fitted these Schabak XR2i spare wheels instead for now. Will try and get the originals straight again at some point but for now quite happy with these. The Orion was ok thankfully. An to show it's not all about the Vauxhall / Opel's here my other Ford's. A Schabak Fiesta XR2i and a Gama MK1 Mondeo. Got to say as well that the Angila pickup conversion looking fantastic so far. I'm really enjoying seeing Vulg and egg work too. It gives me hope that I can tackle some of mine this year. RayMK, Felly Magic, egg and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 A few weeks ago, I bought one of these Matchbox Mobile Homes from a toyfair. Then immediately got a better condition one from Eddy. So what to do with the scruffy one? Some piss poor masking there, but doesn't that just add authenticity? vulgalour, RayMK, Remspoor and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I found a picture of a red Kenex .... so mines red ,as i had some red paint . The temptation to reassemble is high, but I know it'll mark up with fingerprints so i'm desisting ! It's looking good though innit ? .. Edit Bah.. someone else made one , but in 43rd , already http://www.anglia-models.co.uk/va000-01.htm No ones done a Toreno Anglia though :idea: http://www.anglia-models.co.uk/torino.htm Amishtat, eddyramrod, Conrad D.
