Thanks to VWOwner, I went through my collection of vintage diecast, I knew I had some nice Midgetoys around. Here they are:

This is there version of a mustang

I really like this one, but I'm a fan of plastic boats

The truck and boat came from an antique shop, the Mustang and trailer came from a box of cars that showed up at a toy show I was working, rubber banded together.

Gerald

You're a van of plastic boats???? :confused: :lol:


Nice cars, I have some of those around here somewhere

I like the little boat & trailers too

I like the trailers as well. You seem them in the castoff boxes at dealers tables alot of the times for a few dollars. Missing there cargo of course. Most fo the vintage diecast has the hitch attachment.


Nice example Gerald.:thumbsup:

I've always liked 50's-60's speedboats Gerald.

I fondly remember having a wood speedboat when I was a child that used D cell batteries to power it. I stopped in a hobby store recently and saw one on display. It was a boat that was currently made.They make replicas of these boats from the late 50's that sold for several dollars (under $10 at that time), that now cost several hundred dollars.

I'm happy with my '56 Ford Fairlane towing my speedboat.

Those are all very nice.

Hey Stutz, did you buy those Brooklins from my buddy Paul Bender (Brasilia)

No Mark, I bought them from a dealer that sold them at a toy show at the EXPO MART in Pittsburgh, PA (actually Monroeville, PA). His store name is Don's Toys. I'm not sure, but I think he is from Delaware. He not longer sells Brooklins. :cry: I wish I could find a local hobby store in my area that sells Brooklins. I had my choice of 3 stores that sold Brooklins at one time. Now, no store in my area sells Brooklins. It's hard to find new Brooklins at a toy show in my area now. The 'Bay seems the only choice now.

That is one sweet setup! Is that in 1/18?

Thanks for the kind words. The Scale is 1/43 . The car, boat, and trailer are all made by Brooklin (England). The boat is diecast, so I wouldn't try to see if it will float. :p The trailer is diecast too.

Here's a nice rig too! A limited edition 25 year anniversary set. Here's the link for the thread. LMK what your opinion is. If you do reply, please reply in the 1/43 scale forum describing this model.

For a change of pace, lurk in the 1/43 scale forum from time to time. There is a variety of cars most people don't even know about. Jinx has many of these type of unusal cars.
