The wheels are Dunlop alloys. Very appropriate for the car’s era. steve

Do you microchip your cats in the US? It’s been introduced to law here in the UK recently. When we had cats, we had them fitted when they came to us as a matter of course, along with the jabs, etc. steve

Radical and extremely well built. steve

Nice score. Back in 1996, I had a drive of a PA that was at the Mexican National Railway Museum in Puebla. During my Mexican trip I also saw the one that was eventually repatriated to the US. steve

That’s a real bummer Les, sorry to hear about it. Hope you’re better soon. We live near York (the original one ?) and that is also a tourist hotspot but I’ve never heard of an incident like yours. steve

Yet another pm. ? steve

Never heard of an equivalent over here. steve

Good luck with that crane Bill. I had an Athearn plastic kit version but I ended up selling it unstarted! steve

In excellent condition for its age. steve

Something I’ve never seen before, a Hudson Hornet 4 door saloon. It was pale yellow with a white roof. Unfortunately I was driving so no pic. ? steve

Back from my latest hearing test, last one 3 years ago. Some slight deterioration in hearing but the big news is a set of new hearing aids. These not only sound louder and clearer but are Bluetooth enabled direct to my iPhone. So I can now be one of those odd people talking to themselves as they walk along. Many thanks to our wonderful NHS and their hard working staff! steve

That T Bird kit is a real find! steve

Well saved. steve

Do these HOAs have legal status? Why can’t you just tell them to go boil their heads? People who own properties in the UK that have what’s called “Listed” status have to follow certain rules but not “ordinary” homes. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/listed-buildings/#:~:text=Listing marks and celebrates a,it is to be listed. Never heard of such organisations as HOAs here in the UK. steve

Superb work on both. The Sharknose is my all time favourite F1 car. Was lucky enough to see the replica version in the Ferrari museum some years ago. steve

A very fine piece of work. steve

I had to look that up. Never heard of it before. steve

Nice. Best looking Barracuda to my eyes and your paint job is spot on. steve

It’s not quite a Ford Anglia 105E, as used in the films, but, I think, a Daf Daffodil from The Netherlands. https://www.metropole.nl/en/product/daf-32-daffodil/ steve

Pretty sure that’s the earlier XK120 model. steve

Great work on a highly imaginative project. steve

Nice haul there Bill. I presume you are aware that Piko have recently released a new version of the Krauss Maffei loco? steve
